- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas is underway.
- 5' Houston Dynamo started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.

- 18' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 23' Houston Dynamo seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
