Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! Houston Dynamo welcome FC Dallas for this crunch clash at PNC Stadium.
  • 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 8' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Teenage Hadebe.
  • 13' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alan Velasco made 168 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 18' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 23' 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.
  • 28' FC Dallas have won 422 goals from 288 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 29' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Ivan Franco.
  • 34' The 26-year-old Micael has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 39' Both keepers have barely been tested. Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 41' That looks like a foul for a card for Nkosi Burgess.
  • 46' It looks surprising FC Dallas does not make any changes. Sebastien Ibeagha has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 51' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ivan Franco suffering a number of foals already.
  • 56' It looks like no one’s ball. Houston Dynamo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 59' The Houston Dynamo manager makes a substitution. Brad Smith departs to be replaced by Nelson Quinones.
  • 64' Supporters expect more eagerness from Liam Fraser, as he is very good at scoring at PNC Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 66' It is a substitution in FC Dallas team. Facundo Quignon is replaced by Paxton Pomykal on 66 minute.
  • 71' The referee calls foul for Adalberto Carrasquilla. He receives a card.
  • 76' The energy levels are beginning to show. Ben Olsen might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 79' Another change for FC Dallas made on 79 minute. Paul Arriola leaves to be changed by Liam Fraser.
  • 81' Erik Sviatchenko makes way for Ethan Bartlow at the 81 minute mark. A tactical switch from Houston Dynamo.
  • 84' Hector Herrera picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 87' Houston Dynamo ring the changes. Teenage Hadebe has done his job and it is now time for Ibrahim Aliyu to step up.
  • 90' Jesus Jimenez is replacing Jesus Ferreira for the FC Dallas side.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 0-0 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
