Events

Match Events

0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Houston Dynamo to score. At the same time, Portland Timbers does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' A quiet spell here at BBVA Stadium. Houston Dynamo seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Houston Dynamo that had 284 games and scored 394 goals.
15' Goal! Yimmi Chara scores his 25 goal in 480 matches.
20' Felipe Mora adds to his 3 season tally! Portland Timbers lead 0-2 — and this changes everything.
25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
30' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Giovanni Savarese will be considering his options from the bench.
35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tyler Pasher, as he is very good at scoring at BBVA Stadium with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
40' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Houston Dynamo winning 100% of all matches.
45' Renzo Jose Zambrano is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Portland Timbers so far.
46' The whistle greets Derrick Jones as he departs to be replaced by Griffin Dorsey.
49' A change in the Houston Dynamo ranks — Tyler Pasher exits the field as Carlos Darwin Quintero enters on 49.
50' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Tim Parker.
51' Controversy at the stadium! Claudio Bravo argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
52' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Claudio Bravo.
57' Houston Dynamo currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
62' The 34-year-old George Fochive has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
63' The supporters are chanting for Marvin Loria. He replaces Dairon Asprilla on 63 minute.
68' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Houston Dynamo and Portland Timbers are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
69' The crowd applauds Pablo Bonilla as he leaves the pitch. Bill Tuiloma steps in for Portland Timbers.
74' Derrick Jones has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
75' Fresh legs for Houston Dynamo! Mateo Bajamich comes on to replace Adam Lundqvist.
79' Houston Dynamo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Joe Corona is hanging Memo Rodriguez on the field on 79 minute.
83' Diego Valeri is replacing Sebastian Blanco for the Portland Timbers side.
86' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Renzo Jose Zambrano.
90' The referee has no hesitation. Larrys Mabiala is booked for Portland Timbers — Yellow card on 90.
That’s it! Another goalless match for Houston Dynamo and Portland Timbers (для сухой ничьи).
