Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Shell Energy Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Houston Dynamo and Los Angeles FC.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Los Angeles FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' A quiet spell here at Shell Energy Stadium. Houston Dynamo seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Griffin Dorsey is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Houston Dynamo tonight.
  • 25' A moment of madness from Ilie Sanchez on 25 minutes earns him a card. Los Angeles FC will be frustrated.
  • 30' Los Angeles FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' Los Angeles FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Nathan Ordaz scoring 1 goals.
  • 45' That is a card for Houston Dynamo. Hector Herrera will be fuming at that decision.
  • 50' It looks surprising Los Angeles FC does not make any changes. Kei Kamara has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 52' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Eduard Atuesta.
  • 55' Poor challenge from Artur. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 56' Lewis O'Brien has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 56.
  • 61' Houston Dynamo is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 66' Eddie Segura needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 67' Another change for Los Angeles FC made on 67 minute. Kei Kamara leaves to be changed by Nathan Ordaz.
  • 68' Fresh legs for Houston Dynamo! Adalberto Carrasquilla comes on to replace Sebastian Kowalczyk.
  • 73' 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 Timothy Tillman suffering a number of foals already.
  • 78' Micael is having his name booked by the referee on 78.
  • 81' The supporters are chanting for Erik Duenas. He replaces Eduard Atuesta on 81 minute.
  • 85' The referee shows Houston Dynamo player a card on 85.
  • 90' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
