Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Houston Dynamo kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Houston Dynamo is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' It looks surprising Houston Dynamo does not make any changes. Guilherme has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 11' It’s a booking for Vancouver Whitecaps FC player. Kenji Cabrera gets a card.
- 16' Houston Dynamo is showing some good football. However, Houston Dynamo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 21' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 21 minutes.
- 26' Thomas Muller has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 53 appearances with only 4 goals this season.
- 31' The travelling Vancouver Whitecaps FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 36' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Vancouver Whitecaps FC winning 0% of all matches.
- 41' 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 suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' Tate Johnson is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
- 48' The referee shows Vancouver Whitecaps FC player a card on 48.
- 53' It looks like no one’s ball. Houston Dynamo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 54' It’s a booking for Houston Dynamo player. Agustin Resch gets a card.
- 59' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 62' It’s a booking for Vancouver Whitecaps FC player. Andres Cubas gets a card.
- 64' The referee shows Vancouver Whitecaps FC player a card on 64.
- 69' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tate Johnson made 276 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 74' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 79' Supporters expect more eagerness from Edier Ocampo, as he is very good at scoring at PNC Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 84' Houston Dynamo started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 84.
- 89' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Houston Dynamo needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for Houston Dynamo and Vancouver Whitecaps FC (для сухой ничьи).
