Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Gillette Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between New England Revolution and Houston Dynamo.
- 5' 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 Matt Turner suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His New England Revolution side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 20' It looks surprising Houston Dynamo does not make any changes. Ethan Kohler has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' 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.
- 30' Houston Dynamo started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 35' Mexico international Hector Herrera has been a key figure this campaign — 2 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 40' New England Revolution are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Houston Dynamo backline.
- 45' The travelling Houston Dynamo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 50' The home supporters are growing impatient. New England Revolution must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 55' Artur is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Houston Dynamo so far.
- 60' Houston Dynamo looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 65' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 70' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 70 minutes.
- 75' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 80' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 85' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
