Match Events

0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Seattle Sounders FC and Houston Dynamo get this one started.
5' 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.
10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
15' Seattle Sounders FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
20' Seattle Sounders FC 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.
25' It looks surprising Houston Dynamo does not make any changes. Nicolas Lodeiro has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
26' The deadlock is broken! Carlos Ferreira gets on the scoresheet on 26 minutes.
31' Seattle Sounders FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Paul Rothrock scoring 1 goals.
36' USA international Sam Junqua has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
39' Houston Dynamo make a change. Memo Rodriguez trudges off to be replaced by Brooklyn Raines on 39 minutes.
44' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
49' Seattle Sounders FC is showing some good football. However, Seattle Sounders FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
54' It looks like no one’s ball. Houston Dynamo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
56' It is a substitution in Seattle Sounders FC team. Danny Leyva is replaced by Jimmy Medranda on 56 minute.
59' Nouhou Tolo adds to his 0 season tally! Seattle Sounders FC lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
60' Nouhou Tolo makes no mistake. The score reads 2-1 and Seattle Sounders FC are in front.
63' A meaty challenge results in booking for Griffin Dorsey on 63.
68' Supporters expect more eagerness from Fafa Picault, as he is very good at scoring at Lumen Field with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
73' The whistle greets Corey Baird as he departs to be replaced by Nelson Quinones.
76' Magnificent from Fredy Montero! That is 36 goals in 509 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
77' A meaty challenge results in booking for Fredy Montero on 77.
82' 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 Nelson Quinones suffering a number of foals already.
83' Kelyn Rowe is ready to make an impact after coming on for Joshua Atencio at the 83 minute mark.
85' Controversy at the stadium! Albert Rusnak argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
90' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joshua Atencio made 292 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Seattle Sounders FC 2-1 Houston Dynamo.
