Events

Match Events

0' That's the starting whistle at Providence Park. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Portland Timbers and Houston Dynamo.
5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Portland Timbers and Houston Dynamo are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
9' A goal from the Poland international Sebastian Kowalczyk! He fires home on 9 to make it 0-1!
14' Portland Timbers started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 14.

26' Franco Escobar has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 26.
31' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Diego Chara made 287 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
36' The energy levels are beginning to show. Phil Neville might look to freshen things up shortly.
37' Against the run of play, Felipe Mora has scored! This game has turned on its head.
42' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Houston Dynamo that had 275 games and scored 385 goals.

50' Goal! Adalberto Carrasquilla scores his 11 goal in 8 matches.

67' The referee calls foul for Dario Zuparic. He receives a card.
71' The referee shows Portland Timbers player a card on 71.

75' Diego Chara makes way for Nathan at the 75 minute mark. A tactical switch from Portland Timbers.
76' GOAL! Nathan fires home to make it 2-2!
76' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Micael on 76 minutes.
81' Eryk Williamson is ready to make an impact after coming on for Santiago Moreno at the 81 minute mark.
82' It’s a booking for Portland Timbers player. Eryk Williamson gets a card.
87' Griffin Dorsey has so much to prove this time. He replaces Franco Escobar on 87 minute.
90' Griffin Dorsey is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
90' Erik Sviatchenko is replacing Sebastian Kowalczyk for the Houston Dynamo side.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
