Events

Match Events

0' Three points are at stake. Houston Dynamo host Vancouver Whitecaps FC — let the battle begin!
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 Javain Brown suffering a number of foals already.
10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Florian Jungwirth made 282 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
14' What a moment for Lucas Cavallini! That strike on 14 puts his side firmly in control.
15' GOAL! Lucas Cavallini scores on 15.
20' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Houston Dynamo and Vancouver Whitecaps FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
24' Vancouver Whitecaps FC make a change. Pedro Vite trudges off to be replaced by Javain Brown on 24 minutes.

33' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Carlos Darwin Quintero makes no mistake. 1-2!
38' Houston Dynamo are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Vancouver Whitecaps FC's shape.
43' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
48' The home supporters are growing impatient. Houston Dynamo must find a spark to ignite this game.
50' GOAL! Carlos Darwin Quintero fires home to make it 2-2!
55' Vancouver Whitecaps FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
60' It looks surprising Houston Dynamo does not make any changes. Russell Teibert has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
65' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
67' The Vancouver Whitecaps FC manager makes a substitution. Leonard Owusu departs to be replaced by Deiber Caicedo.

84' Vancouver Whitecaps FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ryan Raposo is hanging Ranko Veselinovic on the field on 84 minute.

90' A tactical swap from Houston Dynamo — Teenage Hadebe on, Fafa Picault off on 90 minutes.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC will have plenty to reflect on. Houston Dynamo were simply the better side today.
