Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Houston Dynamo gets underway.
  • 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 13' Magnificent from Cristian Pavon! That is 30 goals in 210 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 18' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 23' Houston Dynamo currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 28' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Houston Dynamo that had 295 games and scored 407 goals.
  • 33' The home supporters are growing impatient. Houston Dynamo must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 38' Los Angeles Galaxy have won 504 goals from 297 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 43' Both keepers have barely been tested. Houston Dynamo and Los Angeles Galaxy are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 48' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 49' Houston Dynamo player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 51' The referee has no hesitation. Aleksandar Katai is booked for Los Angeles Galaxy — Yellow card on 51.
  • 54' GOAL! Mauro Manotas scores on 54. Assisted by Zarek Valentin
  • 58' The Los Angeles Galaxy bench stirs into life. Aleksandar Katai is withdrawn and Joe Corona gets his opportunity.
  • 63' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Tab Ramos will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 68' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tomas Martinez made 295 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 70' A change in the Houston Dynamo ranks — Tomas Martinez exits the field as Christian Ramirez enters on 70.
  • 75' Houston Dynamo make a change. Boniek Garcia trudges off to be replaced by Niko Hansen on 75 minutes.
  • 80' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 83' Darwin Ceren has so much to prove this time. He replaces Memo Rodriguez on 83 minute.

  • celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
