Ben Olson told us they want to be better at home and Warren you get better at home by putting your best 11 on the pitch that's what Ben said they would be doing a yellow card suspension for rul petretta this is the group that includes dangerous players on the wings Richie laa and feder Rico berneski that's why it was important to at least get through to The Knockout stage of leagues cup so you can cut down the time that you have off and we are underway Houston with the first touch of the ball they'll be attacking right to left well the man who had 20 appearances in his time at Newcastle United for the first team was fouled and that sets up this free kick for bernades and the cultured left foot curls in a dangerous delivery a defensive header but long stab now has a chance to shoot turns and goes for goal another opportunity for Derek at the end Junior listen I think I S I left his foot up there I think there was a tackle but went in there as an ex player I think as he's gone past he's left his foot up to hit the Houston player he probably end up having a lached on to it by Bronco Escobar One Touch by am bosi plays forward ecta good combination play Escobar is it ball now maybe a chance for ibraim out of you their leading goal scorer this year he rolled a delicious ball right in front Toronto FC clears their lives now at the end nearly gives it away good question will ector ATA go for goal here no he won't he sets up Ezekiel Pon who takes the shot first time but the contact wasn't all he hoped for it to be and it's right to Shawn Johnson Hold Up play here on the left hand side Ibrahim ALU back to the veteran midfielder dangerous ball top of the six defensive header away now take it sweetly oh Griffin dorsy going for goal that was going to be very very special didn't even have a 100 appearances with the first team at Burnley in 14 years e he's still going Floy is down reaching this is a chance for escobal it's a last second lunge of a tackle the goal is but the ball is cleared a rising shot is saved by Johnson made that desperate clearance for Toronto FC this is the first corner kick of the game tonight for Houston Ezekiel Pon and it's headed Away by maty long stamp not headed away far but Pon had a great chance I think he does like a cover te really he's not a coffee person need's a te Ibrahim ALU Basi now H TOA challenge put in by [Applause] berneski Toronto's right hand side it beginning it was more like dorsy on that right hand side for them and trying to find the ball that's where they and there is dorsy in the right center channel shot deflected and pass on Johnson and wide 50% was coming down this left hand side so maybe it's for him to come over and like I said you don't really want your best player keep defending baby Floris into Hector Hera is going to be yellow card City Davy Flores Toronto going into the night by the way back for that's played a lot together Mikel and spenko as the center backs dorsy on the right Escobar on the left oh Johnson's got come out come out and get it you to keep come out and get the ball they lost to Miami in the round of 32 that some crazy guys 43 final and now here's a chance for a Wu from Richie laa Ball's given away in Midfield and Wu and etana are going to turn and go and it's laid off into space for the sordo Mikel slows things up it's now back on the feet up there get the end it's fko gets the Block in it's a corner kick so that is something of extreme importance to them that second leg that semi-final coming up on Tuesday but right now F Rico beresi Out Swinging corner kick and toon they broke it through great delivery by badesi and Prince U has broken a long drout his first MLS goal since May comes off a set pece Toronto one Houston Dynamo nil what a ball and also the desire the power that he gets up he Thunders that into the back of the net but the delivery with that sweet left foot but let's look how strong composed and aggressive he is with a header slight deflection takes it away from Clark off of the bador by the sounds of it he turns his back said you need more of of him that's the best way to do it hit it you just had a goal just hit it with your right foot it's set up nicely for you andu oh this clearance is blocked by a sordo but it's taken poorly by derken Jr here's berneski out in space he just had his eighth assist of the year now maybe a ninth assist could be on his way or maybe a ninth goal oh right hand to the Bread Basket of Steve Clark on the shot by verico badesi the professional experience for Lawrence analii who's come into the game playing for Hanover among others in the second division in Germany he's also played in the Polish extra colossa hon or perhaps dors a Target busing had a great chance and then Escobar cannons one off the crossbar imagine the coaching stuff gun him calming down The Mantel now handed to aodio for the delivery it's another one in the back post that's an your header oh wow so many orange kits there but somehow that ball found a pocket of space which is not what they wanted Hector WS it up dorsy another header taking a tumble kic oh wow here we go don't get involved just walk away just walk away let let the referee deal with it which he's doing straight away Herrera in the in the second half or puno as well the 10 we you know the argentin he's not made too many runs he's not been able to get in the ball they've made it congested Tano now has made five changes Houston's made for kaval a chance big save Shan Johnson beats it away Sebastian kaval had a chance to bring Houston back on level terms be something special from this sort of distance to be Johnson Johnson just had a fantastic save a a oh and it sails way into the crowd he created for others the opportunities others created for him nothing resulted in the ball going in the back of the net ah it's a give can you exploit it now yeah kovalic he's had some good chances tonight and kovalic oh the shot by veretta is blocked and then fetta goes after it again it was just sitting there tantalizingly a made Mika lunch for it as well kovalic unable to make contact and that was the last chance it's a big rope win for Toronto FC they're fourth of the year
