- 5' The 40-year-old Steve Clark has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' 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.

- 55' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
