Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Houston Dynamo kicks off things out of here…
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Montreal Impact FC that had 281 games and scored 377 goals.
- 10' Artur is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the .
- 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 18' Houston Dynamo receives a card for a hard tackle on 18.
- 23' Franco Escobar has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 28' named a 3-4-1-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 33' It’s gonna be a card for Samuel Piette.
- 38' Houston Dynamo fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 43' The travelling Houston Dynamo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 46' Ibrahim Sunusi is ready to make an impact after coming on for Samuel Piette at the 46 minute mark.
- 51' 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 Mathieu Choiniere suffering a number of foals already.
- 53' A tactical swap from Houston Dynamo — Corey Baird on, Ibrahim Aliyu off on 53 minutes.
- 55' Ethan Bartlow is having his name booked by the referee on 55.
- 60' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 62' That looks like a foul for a card for Adalberto Carrasquilla.
- 67' 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.
- 71' The Houston Dynamo bench stirs into life. Sebastian Kowalczyk is withdrawn and Amine Bassi gets his opportunity.
- 75' Time for substitution for Montreal Impact FC. Kwadwo Opoku is replaced by Lassi Lappalainen.
- 80' The home supporters are growing impatient. Montreal Impact FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 84' The referee has no hesitation. Nelson Quinones is booked for Houston Dynamo — card on 84.
- 85' Houston Dynamo ring the changes. Nelson Quinones has done his job and it is now time for Brad Smith to step up.
- 90' The referee shows Houston Dynamo player a card on 90.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
