Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Houston Dynamo and Seattle Sounders FC has kicked off!
  • 5' Felipe has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 24 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Seattle Sounders FC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Seattle Sounders FC that had 284 games and scored 450 goals.
  • 25' It looks surprising Houston Dynamo does not make any changes. Albert Rusnak has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Seattle Sounders FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 38' The referee calls foul for Felipe. He receives a card.
  • 43' 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 Snyder Brunell suffering a number of foals already.
  • 46' Agustin Resch has so much to prove this time. He replaces Franco Negri on 46 minute.
  • 51' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jesus Ferreira made 281 appearances and scored 64 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 54' The referee calls foul for Paul Rothrock. He receives a card.
  • 59' It looks like no one’s ball. Houston Dynamo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 61' Time for substitution for Seattle Sounders FC. Jesus Ferreira is replaced by Albert Rusnak.
  • 66' It’s high time Brian Schmetzer made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 71' 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.
  • 72' It’s a booking for Seattle Sounders FC player. Jackson Ragen gets a card.
  • 75' The supporters are chanting for Ondrej Lingr. He replaces Duane Holmes on 75 minute.
  • 80' Seattle Sounders FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Paul Rothrock scoring 1 goals.
  • 81' Peter Kingston has so much to prove this time. He replaces Snyder Brunell on 81 minute.
  • 83' Seattle Sounders FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Paul Rothrock on 83.
  • 88' The Houston Dynamo manager makes a substitution. Lawrence Ennali departs to be replaced by Ibrahim Aliyu.
  • 90' Time for substitution for Houston Dynamo. Agustin Resch is replaced by Sam Vines.
  • Another three points for Seattle Sounders FC.
