0' We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
5' Kim Keehee has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
10' Seattle Sounders FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
15' Houston Dynamo fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
20' The travelling Houston Dynamo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Seattle Sounders FC winning 100% of all matches.
30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
35' Houston Dynamo is showing some good football. However, Houston Dynamo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
40' Houston Dynamo seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
45' A quiet spell here at . Houston Dynamo seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
50' Seattle Sounders FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Houston Dynamo's shape.
55' Adam Lundqvist has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 23 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
60' 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 Andrew Wenger suffering a number of foals already.
65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Houston Dynamo that had 284 games and scored 394 goals.
70' Houston Dynamo started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 70.
75' The energy levels are beginning to show. Wilmer Cabrera might look to freshen things up shortly.
80' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Seattle Sounders FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
85' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. DaMarcus Beasley made 284 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
90' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Seattle Sounders FC players.
