Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at BBVA Compass Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas.
  • 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 8' That is a Yellow card for Houston Dynamo. Alejandro Fuenmayor will be fuming at that decision.
  • 13' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 16' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Darwin Ceren.
  • 20' What a moment for Darwin Quintero! That strike on 20 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 25' FC Dallas started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 33' Another substitution for FC Dallas to replace Matt Hedges by Bressan on 33 minute.
  • 38' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Tab Ramos will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 43' The 30-year-old Mauro Manotas has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 45' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Mauro Manotas.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Tanner Tessmann. He replaces Thiago Santos on 46 minute.
  • 51' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Dallas needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 56' Michael Barrios, a Colombia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 59' Reto Ziegler was booked on 59.
  • 64' Jesus Ferreira has so much to prove this time. He replaces Bryan Acosta on 64 minute.
  • 69' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Houston Dynamo that had 275 games and scored 385 goals.
  • 70' Houston Dynamo make a change. Darwin Quintero trudges off to be replaced by Christian Ramirez on 70 minutes.
  • 75' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 80' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Houston Dynamo side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 81' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Bryan Reynolds.
  • 83' Darwin Ceren has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 83 minutes.
  • 83' Fresh legs for FC Dallas! Ricardo Pepi comes on to replace Fafa Picault.
  • 85' A tactical swap from FC Dallas — Ricardo Pepi on, Fafa Picault off on 85 minutes.
  • 88' Bressan picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 90' The Houston Dynamo manager makes a substitution. Sam Junqua departs to be replaced by Zarek Valentin.
  • 90' The referee calls foul for Bressan. He receives a Yellow card.
  • The final score is 2-0.
