Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Houston Dynamo and Portland Timbers get this one started.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Houston Dynamo that had 278 games and scored 391 goals.
  • 10' Houston Dynamo are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Portland Timbers's shape.
  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 16' A moment of madness from Cristhian Paredes on 16 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Portland Timbers will be frustrated.
  • 21' 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 Santiago Moreno suffering a number of foals already.
  • 26' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 27' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Teenage Hadebe on 27 minutes.
  • 32' Houston Dynamo seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 37' Jose Van Rankin has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 42' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Portland Timbers needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 47' It looks like no one’s ball. Houston Dynamo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 49' Yimmi Chara catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 49.
  • 54' The energy levels are beginning to show. Paulo Nagamura might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 59' Houston Dynamo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Corey Baird is hanging Tyler Pasher on the field on 59 minute.
  • 62' Dairon Asprilla gets the nod from Portland Timbers. He replaces Jaroslaw Niezgoda and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 63' Portland Timbers ring the changes. Cristhian Paredes has done his job and it is now time for David Ayala to step up.
  • 67' The whistle greets Carlos Ferreira as he departs to be replaced by Thor Ulfarsson.
  • 71' The Portland Timbers manager makes a substitution. Santiago Moreno departs to be replaced by Marvin Loria.
  • 75' Controversy at the stadium! Teenage Hadebe argues furiously but the Red card stands.
  • 78' The whistle greets Carlos Darwin Quintero as he departs to be replaced by Ethan Bartlow.
  • 81' The referee calls foul for Bill Tuiloma. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 82' Portland Timbers ring the changes. Sebastian Blanco has done his job and it is now time for Eryk Williamson to step up.
  • 83' Portland Timbers make a change. Jose Van Rankin trudges off to be replaced by Dario Zuparic on 83 minutes.
  • 88' Houston Dynamo looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
