Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at PNC Stadium!
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Chase Gasper made 290 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 8' Goal! Carlos Ferreira scores his 18 goal in 284 matches.
  • 13' Javier Hernandez, a Mexico , has 15 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' Los Angeles Galaxy player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 17' Javier Hernandez is having his name booked by the referee on 17.
  • 22' 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 Steve Clark suffering a number of foals already.
  • 27' Griffin Dorsey needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 31 Yellow cards this season.
  • 31' GOAL! Riqui Puig scores on 31.
  • 32' Javier Hernandez adds to his 0 season tally! Los Angeles Galaxy lead 1-2 — and this changes everything.
  • 37' Marky Delgado has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 42' Over 42 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 47' The home supporters are growing impatient. Houston Dynamo must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 52' Houston Dynamo is showing some good football. However, Houston Dynamo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 57' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Los Angeles Galaxy needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 61' Memo Rodriguez is replacing Corey Baird for the Houston Dynamo side.
  • 61' The referee calls foul for Julian Araujo. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 66' Efrain Alvarez is ready to make an impact after coming on for Douglas Costa at the 66 minute mark.
  • 69' Dejan Joveljic doubles the advantage! 1-3 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 70' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Dejan Joveljic makes no mistake. 1-4!
  • 73' Victor Vazquez is ready to make an impact after coming on for Marky Delgado at the 73 minute mark.
  • 77' A change in the Houston Dynamo ranks — Matias Vera exits the field as Nelson Quinones enters on 77.
  • 78' Houston Dynamo player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 83' It looks like no one’s ball. Houston Dynamo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 88' The Houston Dynamo manager makes a substitution. Carlos Ferreira departs to be replaced by Thor Ulfarsson.
  • 90' Houston Dynamo player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • The points are shared — Houston Dynamo 1-3 Los Angeles Galaxy. Honours even.
