0' That's the starting whistle at Rio Tinto Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Real Salt Lake and Houston Dynamo.
5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Real Salt Lake side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Real Salt Lake that had 285 games and scored 424 goals.
15' 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 0% of all matches.
20' Real Salt Lake currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
25' Guinea international Morgan Guilavogui has been a key figure this campaign — 2 goals and 2 assists in the Array this season.
30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
35' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
40' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
45' The referee has no hesitation. Agustin Bouzat is booked for Houston Dynamo — card on 45.
49' Duane Holmes doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
54' It is a cagey affair so far. Real Salt Lake in their trying to find a way past Houston Dynamo's compact .
57' What a strike from Zavier Gozo! The score is 2-0.
62' With 2 assists to his name this season, Juan Sanabria is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Real Salt Lake.
64' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Zavier Gozo makes it 3-0.
69' Franco Negri is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Houston Dynamo tonight.
74' 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.
79' A quiet spell here at Rio Tinto Stadium. Houston Dynamo seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
84' 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 Dominik Marczuk suffering a number of foals already.
89' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
3-0 the final result. Houston Dynamo will be bitterly disappointed.
