15' The Minnesota United FC manager makes a substitution. Hassani Dotson departs to be replaced by Osvaldo Alonso.
20' Houston Dynamo seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
25' It looks surprising Houston Dynamo does not make any changes. Jacori Hayes has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
30' Goal! Ethan Finlay scores his 30 goal in 285 matches.
35' Over 35 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
40' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
45' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Minnesota United FC and Houston Dynamo are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
46' A change in the Houston Dynamo ranks — Ariel Lassiter exits the field as Niko Hansen enters on 46.
51' The 38-year-old Darwin Quintero has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
56' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Minnesota United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
59' Memo Rodriguez doubles the advantage! 2-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
64' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
69' Time for substitution for Minnesota United FC. Ethan Finlay is replaced by Marlon Hairston.

75' Jose Bizama is ready to make an impact after coming on for Victor Cabrera at the 75 minute mark.
80' Houston Dynamo have won 391 goals from 278 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
83' What a strike from Niko Hansen! The score is 2-2.
88' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Minnesota United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jacori Hayes.
90' Another substitution for Houston Dynamo to replace Adam Lundqvist by Sam Junqua on 90 minute.
