Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Real Salt Lake and Houston Dynamo has kicked off!
  • 1' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Corey Baird makes no mistake. 1-0!
  • 6' Alberth Elis is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Houston Dynamo tonight.
  • 11' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 11 minutes.
  • 16' It’s high time Freddy Juarez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 21' 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 Marcelo Silva suffering a number of foals already.
  • 26' The 47-year-old Nick Rimando has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 29' Controversy at the stadium! Jefferson Savarino argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 32' What a moment for Tomas Martinez! That strike on 32 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 37' Real Salt Lake started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 37.
  • 42' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Darwin Ceren made 278 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 47' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Houston Dynamo that had 278 games and scored 391 goals.
  • 52' Real Salt Lake are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 57' Real Salt Lake currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 62' The Houston Dynamo manager makes a substitution. Mauro Manotas departs to be replaced by Christian Ramirez.
  • 67' It is a substitution in Real Salt Lake team. Damir Kreilach is replaced by Sebastian Saucedo on 67 minute.
  • 72' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 75' GOAL! Jefferson Savarino scores on 75. Assisted by Sebastian Saucedo
  • 77' Memo Rodriguez is ready to make an impact after coming on for Tomas Martinez at the 77 minute mark.
  • 82' 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.
  • 87' The supporters are chanting for Niko Hansen. He replaces Thomas McNamara on 87 minute.
  • 87' Thomas McNamara has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 87.
