Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds PNC Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Houston Dynamo and St. Louis City.
- 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with St. Louis City winning 50% of all matches.
- 10' St. Louis City are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Bradley Carnell will be considering his options from the bench.
- 20' Aziel Jackson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 30' 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 Artur suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' 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.
- 40' A quiet spell here at PNC Stadium. Houston Dynamo seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 45' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 46' Fresh legs for Houston Dynamo! Latif Blessing comes on to replace Hector Herrera.
- 51' Both keepers have barely been tested. Houston Dynamo and St. Louis City are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 56' St. Louis City come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 61' Tomas Ostrak has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 2 goals to his name this season.
- 64' Fresh legs for St. Louis City! Samuel Adeniran comes on to replace Rasmus Alm.
- 69' Houston Dynamo currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 74' That is a card for St. Louis City. Tomas Ostrak will be fuming at that decision.
- 75' St. Louis City ring the changes. Tomas Ostrak has done his job and it is now time for Hosei Kijima to step up.
- 80' The Houston Dynamo manager makes a substitution. Sebastian Kowalczyk departs to be replaced by Sebastian Ferreira.
- 82' The St. Louis City bench stirs into life. Klauss is withdrawn and Nokkvi THorisson gets his opportunity.
- 85' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Tate Schmitt on 85 minutes.
- 87' St. Louis City receives a card for a hard tackle on 87.
- 90' The Houston Dynamo manager makes a substitution. Ibrahim Aliyu departs to be replaced by Brad Smith.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
