Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Real Salt Lake launch into their encounter with Houston Dynamo.
  • 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 10' It looks surprising Real Salt Lake does not make any changes. Hector Herrera has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 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' Real Salt Lake currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 30' With 0 assists to his name this season, Duane Holmes is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Houston Dynamo.
  • 35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Pablo Mastroeni will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 40' A quiet spell here at Rio Tinto Stadium. Houston Dynamo seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 45' That is a card for Houston Dynamo. Agustin Bouzat will be fuming at that decision.
  • 49' Duane Holmes adds to his 1 season tally! Real Salt Lake lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 54' The home supporters are growing impatient. Real Salt Lake must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 57' Zavier Gozo makes no mistake. The score reads 2-0 and Real Salt Lake are in front.
  • 62' 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 Juan Sanabria suffering a number of foals already.
  • 64' Zavier Gozo adds to his 5 season tally! Real Salt Lake lead 3-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 69' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Philip Quinton made 295 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 74' Agustin Resch is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Houston Dynamo so far.
  • 79' Real Salt Lake are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Houston Dynamo's shape.
  • 84' Houston Dynamo is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 89' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • It finishes all square. Real Salt Lake and Houston Dynamo share the spoils 3-0.
