Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds PNC Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Houston Dynamo and Internacional CF Miami.
- 5' Franco Escobar is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Houston Dynamo so far.
- 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 20' 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.
- 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Internacional CF Miami needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Harvey Neville, as he is very good at scoring at PNC Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 33' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Franco Negri.
- 34' That is a Yellow card for Internacional CF Miami. Franco Negri will be fuming at that decision.
- 39' Internacional CF Miami are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 44' Josef Martinez has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 49' The energy levels are beginning to show. Ben Olsen might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 54' Daniel Steres needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
- 59' 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 David Ruiz suffering a number of foals already.
- 62' Another substitution for Houston Dynamo to replace Ivan Franco by Carlos Ferreira on 62 minute.
- 67' Amine Bassi is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Internacional CF Miami tonight.
- 72' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Daniel Steres makes it 1-0.
- 77' Houston Dynamo currently sit 14 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 81' Fresh legs for Internacional CF Miami! Josef Martinez comes on to replace Corentin Jean.
- 86' Another substitution for Internacional CF Miami to replace Leonardo Campana by Shanyder Borgelin on 86 minute.
- 89' The crowd applauds Adalberto Carrasquilla as he leaves the pitch. Luis Caicedo steps in for Houston Dynamo.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
