  • 20' The 34-year-old Jordon Mutch has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 25' Vancouver Whitecaps FC is showing some good football. However, Vancouver Whitecaps FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 35' Stefan Marinovic is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Houston Dynamo so far.
  • 40' The home supporters are growing impatient. Houston Dynamo must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 45' Philippe Senderos has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 22 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 50' United States international Aaron Maund has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.

  • 85' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 90' Houston Dynamo are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Vancouver Whitecaps FC backline.
