Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Orlando City SC host Houston Dynamo — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Mauro Manotas is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Houston Dynamo so far.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' Orlando City SC 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.
  • 35' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 40' 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.
  • 45' Orlando City SC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 50' Houston Dynamo looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Hector Herrera scoring 1 goals.
  • 55' Scott Sutter has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 60' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 65' The travelling Houston Dynamo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 70' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Lamine Sane made 290 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 75' Romell Quioto is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Houston Dynamo tonight.
  • 80' The 35-year-old Andrew Wenger has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 85' Houston Dynamo has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 90' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Orlando City SC and Houston Dynamo are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • will have plenty to reflect on. were simply the better side today.
