Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Nashville SC and Houston Dynamo get this one started.
- 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Nashville SC and Houston Dynamo are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 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' Nashville SC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
- 29' A goal from the international Carlos Ferreira! He fires home on 29 to make it 0-1!
- 30' What a moment for Carlos Ferreira! That strike on 30 puts his side firmly in control.
- 35' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 39' What a moment for Carlos Ferreira! That strike on 39 puts his side firmly in control.
- 44' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 48' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Teenage Hadebe on 48 minutes.
- 53' A quiet spell here at Fairgrounds Stadium. Houston Dynamo seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 57' Houston Dynamo ring the changes. Carlos Darwin Quintero has done his job and it is now time for Hector Herrera to step up.
- 62' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Houston Dynamo that had 283 games and scored 394 goals.
- 64' Another substitution for Nashville SC to replace Charles Sapong by Teal Bunbury on 64 minute.
- 69' 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.

- 75' Another change for Nashville SC made on 75 minute. Dax McCarty leaves to be changed by Luke Haakenson.
- 80' 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 Hany Mukhtar suffering a number of foals already.
- 85' The whistle greets David Romney as he departs to be replaced by Taylor Washington.
- 90' Houston Dynamo ring the changes. Adalberto Carrasquilla has done his job and it is now time for Darwin Ceren to step up.
