Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Houston Dynamo gets underway.
- 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Houston Dynamo winning 100% of all matches.
- 10' Ezequiel Ponce has been relatively quiet despite scoring 46 goals in his last 128 appearances.
- 15' It looks surprising Houston Dynamo does not make any changes. Matt Polster has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 25' Houston Dynamo is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 30' 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.
- 35' 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.
- 40' Over 40 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 45' It looks like no one’s ball. New England Revolution is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 50' The energy levels are beginning to show. Ben Olsen might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 55' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 60' Houston Dynamo looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 65' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both New England Revolution and Houston Dynamo are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 70' Houston Dynamo fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 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 Brooklyn Raines suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' Houston Dynamo come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 85' The home supporters are growing impatient. New England Revolution must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 90' Peyton Miller has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
- 0-2 the final result. New England Revolution will be bitterly disappointed.
