Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Houston Dynamo gets underway.
5' Los Angeles Galaxy are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Houston Dynamo backline.
10' Martin Caceres has been relatively quiet despite scoring 6 goals in his last 511 appearances.
15' Houston Dynamo looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Guilherme scoring 1 goals.
18' Latif Blessing puts Houston Dynamo on the lead.
23' The travelling Houston Dynamo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
28' Diego Fagundez, a Uruguay , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
33' Micael is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Los Angeles Galaxy so far.
38' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Los Angeles Galaxy and Houston Dynamo are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
43' A quiet spell here at Dignity Health Sports Park. Los Angeles Galaxy seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
44' Gabriel Pec does the damage! The net is bulging and Los Angeles Galaxy surge ahead!
46' Another change for Houston Dynamo made on 46 minute. Latif Blessing leaves to be changed by Brad Smith.
51' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
56' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
59' Riqui Puig has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 59 minutes.
64' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 64 minutes.
67' Los Angeles Galaxy ring the changes. Julian Aude has done his job and it is now time for John Nelson to step up.
72' It looks surprising Houston Dynamo does not make any changes. Maya Yoshida has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
77' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
78' Daniel Steres makes way for Jefferson Valverde at the 78 minute mark. A tactical switch from Houston Dynamo.
83' Another substitution for Houston Dynamo to replace Adalberto Carrasquilla by Gabriel Segal on 83 minute.
84' Fresh legs for Los Angeles Galaxy! Daniel Aguirre comes on to replace Diego Fagundez.
89' Houston Dynamo fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
90' The Houston Dynamo bench stirs into life. Erik Sviatchenko is withdrawn and Franco Escobar gets his opportunity.
The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Los Angeles Galaxy to claim maximum points.
