10' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Houston Dynamo and San Jose Earthquakes are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
15' A quiet spell here at . San Jose Earthquakes seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
20' Danny Hoesen, a Netherlands , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
25' Both keepers have barely been tested. Houston Dynamo and San Jose Earthquakes are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
35' San Jose Earthquakes started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
40' San Jose Earthquakes fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
45' It looks like no one’s ball. Houston Dynamo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
50' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
55' San Jose Earthquakes is showing some good football. However, San Jose Earthquakes are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
60' With 0 assists to his name this season, Andrew Tarbell is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Houston Dynamo.
65' San Jose Earthquakes is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

80' Guram Kashia is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for San Jose Earthquakes tonight.
85' 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 Tomas Martinez suffering a number of foals already.
90' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
Houston Dynamo celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
