Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Minnesota United FC launch into their encounter with Houston Dynamo.
- 5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Minnesota United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 20' The deadlock is broken! Romain Metanire gets on the scoresheet on 20 minutes.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Houston Dynamo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Adrian Heath will be considering his options from the bench.
- 40' It’s a booking for Houston Dynamo player. Alejandro Fuenmayor gets a Yellow card.
- 45' Houston Dynamo fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 50' Vito Mannone has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. A.J. DeLaGarza made 275 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 60' It’s high time Adrian Heath made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 62' Time for substitution for Houston Dynamo. Romell Quioto is replaced by Thomas McNamara.
- 65' Another substitution for Minnesota United FC to replace Angelo Rodriguez by Abu Danladi on 65 minute.
- 66' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Boniek Garcia.
- 69' Another change for Houston Dynamo made on 69 minute. Alejandro Fuenmayor leaves to be changed by Kevin Garcia.
- 74' Jan Gregus has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 75' Marlon Hairston is replacing Tomas Martinez for the Houston Dynamo side.
- 76' The supporters are chanting for Marlon Hairston. He replaces Tomas Martinez on 76 minute.
- 78' Darwin Quintero makes way for Rasmus Schuller at the 78 minute mark. A tactical switch from Minnesota United FC.
- 83' Minnesota United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ike Opara is hanging Miguel Ibarra on the field on 83 minute.
- 88' 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 Joe Willis suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' Minnesota United FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- Another three points for Minnesota United FC.
