Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Seattle Sounders FC kicks off things out of here…
5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
10' Houston Dynamo have won 407 goals from 294 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
15' The travelling Seattle Sounders FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
20' The home supporters are growing impatient. Houston Dynamo must find a spark to ignite this game.
25' Alberth Elis has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 33 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
30' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
35' It’s high time Brian Schmetzer made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
40' Waylon Francis is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Houston Dynamo tonight.
45' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
50' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
55' Nicolas Lodeiro has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
60' Stefan Frei is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Houston Dynamo so far.
65' Both keepers have barely been tested. Houston Dynamo and Seattle Sounders FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
70' 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 DaMarcus Beasley suffering a number of foals already.
75' The energy levels are beginning to show. Wilmer Cabrera might look to freshen things up shortly.
80' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
85' 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.
90' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 90 minutes.
What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Houston Dynamo 2-3 Seattle Sounders FC.
