Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Nashville SC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Carlos Darwin Quintero has been relatively quiet despite scoring 13 goals in his last 292 appearances.
- 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 15' Nashville SC is showing some good football. However, Nashville SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 16' Adalberto Carrasquilla makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Houston Dynamo are in front.
- 17' Magnificent from Adalberto Carrasquilla! That is 11 goals in 8 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 22' Houston Dynamo have won 405 goals from 292 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 27' 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 Ake Arnaud Loba suffering a number of foals already.
- 32' Houston Dynamo currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 35' Houston Dynamo receives a Red card for a hard tackle on 35.
- 40' Houston Dynamo ring the changes. Thor Ulfarsson has done his job and it is now time for Sam Junqua to step up.
- 41' The referee has no hesitation. Darwin Ceren is booked for Houston Dynamo — Yellow card on 41.
- 42' Steve Clark catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 42.
- 45' Eric Miller catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 45.

- 49' The referee calls foul for Carlos Darwin Quintero. He receives a Yellow card.
- 53' Brilliant from the ! Carlos Darwin Quintero makes it 3-0 with a superb finish on 53.
- 58' Houston Dynamo ring the changes. Carlos Darwin Quintero has done his job and it is now time for Ethan Bartlow to step up.
- 63' Houston Dynamo started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 63.
- 64' It is a substitution in Nashville SC team. David Romney is replaced by Walker Zimmerman on 64 minute.
- 65' Daniel Lovitz gets the nod from Nashville SC. He replaces Taylor Washington and will look to change the dynamic.
- 70' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Thor Ulfarsson made 292 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 75' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Houston Dynamo needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 79' The supporters are chanting for Griffin Dorsey. He replaces Zeca on 79 minute.
- 80' The supporters are chanting for Tyler Pasher. He replaces Fafa Picault on 80 minute.
- 85' It looks like no one’s ball. Houston Dynamo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 86' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Ethan Zubak on 86 minutes.
- 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Walker Zimmerman.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
