Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Real Salt Lake kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Real Salt Lake looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Zavier Gozo scoring 2 goals.
  • 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Houston Dynamo side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 12' Houston Dynamo receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 12.
  • 17' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ruiz.
  • 18' Real Salt Lake player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 23' The home supporters are growing impatient. Houston Dynamo must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 24' The referee shows Real Salt Lake player a Yellow card on 24.
  • 29' With 0 assists to his name this season, Griffin Dorsey is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Real Salt Lake.
  • 34' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Matias Vera on 34 minutes.
  • 39' Houston Dynamo have won 385 goals from 275 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 44' Real Salt Lake fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 46' Zarek Valentin is ready to make an impact after coming on for Griffin Dorsey at the 46 minute mark.
  • 51' The travelling Real Salt Lake supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 53' A meaty challenge results in booking for Adalberto Carrasquilla on 53.
  • 58' Tate Schmitt has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 59' A moment of madness from Erik Holt on 59 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Real Salt Lake will be frustrated.
  • 64' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 65' The Real Salt Lake bench stirs into life. Bobby Wood is withdrawn and Sergio Cordova gets his opportunity.
  • 66' Maikel Chang Ramirez has so much to prove this time. He replaces Justin Meram on 66 minute.
  • 70' The supporters are chanting for Carlos Darwin Quintero. He replaces Memo Rodriguez on 70 minute.
  • 75' Houston Dynamo currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 77' The whistle greets Andrew Brody as he departs to be replaced by Jonathan Menendez.
  • 82' Houston Dynamo are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Real Salt Lake's shape.
  • 87' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Houston Dynamo that had 275 games and scored 385 goals.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Fafa Picault.
  • The points are shared — Houston Dynamo 0-0 Real Salt Lake. Honours even.
