  • 4' GOAL! Thomas McNamara scores on 4. Assisted by Memo Rodriguez
  • 9' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 14' 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.
  • 19' It’s high time Greg Vanney made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 23' GOAL! Tomas Martinez scores on 23. Assisted by Mauro Manotas
  • 28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Liam Fraser, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 33' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tyler Deric made 275 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 38' The travelling Houston Dynamo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 43' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 46' Jozy Altidore has so much to prove this time. He replaces Patrick Mullins on 46 minute.
  • 51' Romell Quioto has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 56' 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 Matias Vera suffering a number of foals already.
  • 57' GOAL! Mauro Manotas scores on 57. Assisted by Thomas McNamara
  • 58' Michael Bradley has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nick DeLeon on 58 minute.
  • 59' Another change for Houston Dynamo made on 59 minute. A.J. DeLaGarza leaves to be changed by Kevin Garcia.
  • 64' It looks surprising Houston Dynamo does not make any changes. A.J. DeLaGarza has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 79' Houston Dynamo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Juan Cabezas is hanging Mauro Manotas on the field on 79 minute.
  • 84' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Houston Dynamo that had 275 games and scored 385 goals.
  • 89' 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.
