Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Subaru Park will turn into a battlefield for Philadelphia Union and Houston Dynamo.
- 5' It’s high time Paulo Nagamura made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Hector Herrera needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 20' It looks surprising Houston Dynamo does not make any changes. Daniel Steres has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 23' GOAL! Daniel Gazdag scores on 23.
- 26' Michael Nelson is replacing Steve Clark for the Houston Dynamo side.
- 31' Houston Dynamo is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 36' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 41' Andre Blake has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 42' Goal! Jack McGlynn scores his 15 goal in 286 matches.
- 46' What a strike from Mikael Uhre! The score is 3-0.
- 48' Goal! Mikael Uhre scores his 21 goal in 17 matches.
- 53' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 55' What a strike from Julian Carranza! The score is 5-0.
- 58' It is a substitution in Houston Dynamo team. Carlos Ferreira is replaced by Tyler Pasher on 58 minute.
- 59' The whistle greets Zeca as he departs to be replaced by Griffin Dorsey.
- 63' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Matias Vera.
- 66' Cory Burke is replacing Mikael Uhre for the Philadelphia Union side.
- 71' 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 Alejandro Bedoya suffering a number of foals already.
- 73' Another change for Houston Dynamo made on 73 minute. Adalberto Carrasquilla leaves to be changed by Carlos Darwin Quintero.
- 77' Philadelphia Union manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Paxten Aaronson is hanging Daniel Gazdag on the field on 77 minute.
