Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Houston Dynamo to score. At the same time, Real Salt Lake does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Zarek Valentin made 307 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Real Salt Lake winning 0% of all matches.
  • 15' Real Salt Lake is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 25' 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 Everton suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Freddy Juarez will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 35' Houston Dynamo started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.

  • 45' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 50' 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.
  • 55' Memo Rodriguez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 20 goals in his last 295 appearances.
  • 60' Real Salt Lake are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 62' Another change for Houston Dynamo made on 62 minute. Mateo Bajamich leaves to be changed by Tyler Pasher.
  • 64' Real Salt Lake manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jonathan Menendez is hanging Maikel Chang Ramirez on the field on 64 minute.
  • 69' The travelling Real Salt Lake supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 74' The crowd applauds Bobby Wood as he leaves the pitch. Rubio Rubin steps in for Real Salt Lake.
  • 75' Real Salt Lake manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Anderson Julio is hanging Justin Meram on the field on 75 minute.
  • 80' Damir Kreilach needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 84' Houston Dynamo make a change. Griffin Dorsey trudges off to be replaced by Derrick Jones on 84 minutes.
  • 85' The whistle greets Griffin Dorsey as he departs to be replaced by Derrick Jones.
