  • 5' 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 Felipe Martins suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jake Nerwinski is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Houston Dynamo.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Vancouver Whitecaps FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' Vancouver Whitecaps FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.

  • 40' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 45' Alberth Elis has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 17 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

  • 60' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Houston Dynamo side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 65' Leonardo is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Houston Dynamo tonight.
  • 70' It is a cagey affair so far. Houston Dynamo in their trying to find a way past Vancouver Whitecaps FC's compact .
  • 75' Philippe Senderos, a Switzerland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 80' Over 80 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 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.
