Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Los Angeles Galaxy and Houston Dynamo has kicked off!
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Felipe made 385 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Houston Dynamo that had 275 games and scored 385 goals.
- 15' Houston Dynamo looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Guilherme scoring 1 goals.
- 20' It’s gonna be a card for Mateusz Bogusz.
- 25' 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 Jacob Glesnes suffering a number of foals already.
- 28' Goal! Joseph Paintsil scores his 59 goal in 316 matches.
- 30' Joseph Paintsil with the second goal in the match!
- 35' 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.
- 37' Joseph Paintsil is having his name booked by the referee on 37.
- 38' It’s a booking for Houston Dynamo player. Agustin Resch gets a card.
- 41' GOAL! Guilherme scores on 41.
- 46' Lawrence Ennali has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 35 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
- 51' 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.
- 56' It’s high time Greg Vanney made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 57' Felipe was booked on 57.
- 62' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 67' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Houston Dynamo winning 0% of all matches.
- 72' It looks surprising Los Angeles Galaxy does not make any changes. Hector Herrera has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 77' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 77 minutes.
- 82' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 87' The travelling Houston Dynamo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- The final score is 1-1.
