Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Seattle Sounders FC gets underway.
5' Amine Bassi, a Morocco , has 15 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
10' It looks like no one’s ball. Houston Dynamo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
15' It is a cagey affair so far. Houston Dynamo in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past Seattle Sounders FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
20' That looks like a foul for a Red card for Amine Bassi.
21' Amine Bassi is having his name booked by the referee on 21.
26' Houston Dynamo are deployed in a 4-3-3 today, looking to exploit space against Seattle Sounders FC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
31' 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 Joao Paulo suffering a number of foals already.
36' Seattle Sounders FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
41' The home supporters are growing impatient. Houston Dynamo must find a spark to ignite this game.
46' The 26-year-old Dylan Teves has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
51' Supporters expect more eagerness from Corey Baird, as he is very good at scoring at PNC Stadium with 6 goals in the last 6 games.
56' Both keepers have barely been tested. Houston Dynamo and Seattle Sounders FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
58' Hector Herrera is having his name booked by the referee on 58.
59' A tactical swap from Houston Dynamo — Brad Smith on, Ivan Franco off on 59 minutes.
60' Brad Smith has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ivan Franco on 60 minute.
62' That is a Yellow card for Seattle Sounders FC. Nicolas Lodeiro will be fuming at that decision.
64' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jackson Ragen.
69' Seattle Sounders FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
71' A change in the Seattle Sounders FC ranks — Heber exits the field as Fredy Montero enters on 71.
76' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
78' Houston Dynamo receives a Red card for a hard tackle on 78.
80' A tactical swap from Houston Dynamo — Luis Caicedo on, Adalberto Carrasquilla off on 80 minutes.
83' Reed Baker-Whiting gets the nod from Seattle Sounders FC. He replaces Joao Paulo and will look to change the dynamic.
84' Seattle Sounders FC make a change. Joao Paulo trudges off to be replaced by Paul Rothrock on 84 minutes.
87' What a strike from Paul Rothrock! The score is 0-1.
88' The supporters are chanting for Nelson Quinones. He replaces Corey Baird on 88 minute.
90' Alex Roldan makes way for Joshua Atencio at the 90 minute mark. A tactical switch from Seattle Sounders FC.
90' Houston Dynamo receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
Another three points for Seattle Sounders FC.
