Events

Match Events

  • 0' Temperatures are rising at Geodis Park as Nashville SC face off against Houston Dynamo in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
  • 2' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Hany Mukhtar makes it 1-0.
  • 7' It looks surprising Nashville SC does not make any changes. Erik Sviatchenko has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 9' Controversy at the stadium! Erik Sviatchenko argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 13' Poor challenge from Andy Najar. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 15' Houston Dynamo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Obafemi Awodesu is hanging Ondrej Lingr on the field on 15 minute.
  • 20' Houston Dynamo started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Nashville SC and Houston Dynamo are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 35' The 33-year-old Jonathan Bond has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 38' Poor challenge from Patrick Yazbek. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 40' What a moment for Junior Urso! That strike on 40 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 45' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 48' The England Sam Surridge breaks the deadlock on 48 minutes. 2-1!
  • 50' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Andy Najar makes no mistake. 3-1!
  • 55' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 57' Josh Bauer is replacing Andy Najar for the Nashville SC side.
  • 62' Nashville SC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 67' 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.
  • 69' Houston Dynamo ring the changes. Junior Urso has done his job and it is now time for Amine Bassi to step up.
  • 70' Another change for Houston Dynamo made on 70 minute. Ezequiel Ponce leaves to be changed by Duane Holmes.
  • 75' 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 Duane Holmes suffering a number of foals already.
  • 76' Tyler Boyd gets the nod from Nashville SC. He replaces Hany Mukhtar and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 77' Time for substitution for Nashville SC. Sam Surridge is replaced by Teal Bunbury.
  • 82' Houston Dynamo is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
