  • 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Houston Dynamo and Los Angeles FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 10' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Houston Dynamo and Los Angeles FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 11' Nelson Quinones makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Houston Dynamo are in front.
  • 16' Houston Dynamo are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Los Angeles FC backline.
  • 21' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Los Angeles FC winning 50% of all matches.
  • 25' Daniel Steres is replacing Chase Gasper for the Houston Dynamo side.
  • 30' Los Angeles FC come into this ranked 7 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.

  • 37' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 42' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Los Angeles FC that had 293 games and scored 583 goals.
  • 47' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Amine Bassi made 327 appearances and scored 34 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 50' Amine Bassi has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 50 minutes.

  • 58' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 79' Franco Escobar is having his name booked by the referee on 79.
  • 79' The Houston Dynamo bench stirs into life. Artur is withdrawn and Luis Caicedo gets his opportunity.
  • 81' Corey Baird picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 84' Nathan Ordaz is ready to make an impact after coming on for Denis Bouanga at the 84 minute mark.
