Events

Match Events

  • 20' It is a cagey affair so far. Houston Dynamo in their trying to find a way past Vancouver Whitecaps FC's compact .
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' It’s high time Tab Ramos made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 40' Houston Dynamo are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Vancouver Whitecaps FC backline.
  • 45' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ryan Gauld, as he is very good at scoring at BBVA Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 46' A tactical swap from Vancouver Whitecaps FC — Deiber Caicedo on, Patrick Metcalfe off on 46 minutes.
