Opening there is nothing quite like match day inside a football stadium especially when there's so much on the line the buildup has been intense and now we just can't wait for it all to begin it's anyone's guess though which team will come out on top in front of a pat [Applause] house stay with us here on eatv we'll have all the action for you live next well the weather forecaster has promised 1st half kick off us an agreeable day for football and that's exactly what we've got I'm Derek Ray an adjacent to me in the commentary box is Stuart Robson and very much looking forward to bringing you live action from MLS it's the Houston Dynamo and they take on Los Angeles FC yes thanks as always Derek we've got two good teams here so I'm anticipating a really good game the atmosphere is electric inside the stadium before kickoff and hopefully we're not disappointed [Applause] hing's head he fancies it always going to be the goalkeeper's ball and introducing the visitors lineup today well it's a 451 but with three of the Midfield players giving close support to the center forward and the other two sitting deeper also watch out for the fullbacks getting forward at every opportunity they do like to get crosses into the box who can he pick [Applause] out and cuts inside Herrera he read the situation defensively and did his job always was difficult to predict in advance who might decide a game but you could make a strong case for this man I think Stuart what you expecting to see from him well Derek is the perfect finisher he's got a great shot on him his movement is excellent and in 1 V one situations you always expect him to score a good and fair challenge really good strong tackle and it'll be a throw in Escobar bassi that's a good ball very quick thinking there banga now can they make something happen really fine piece of Defending play to break us up he has time to play us over out foxing the defender still on level terms moving the ball nicely they keep plugging away and there it is one n the refs have been rewarded and look at the celebrations well here it is again and it's really poor defending they just don't show enough urgency to get tight or make a block which is why the balls ended up in the back of their net and back onway one nil it is Franco Escobar and foul it is then and the referee deciding to admonish him but not book him I think that's good referee it's a foul but no more than that oh tremendous [Applause] Vision atuesta well if you're going to challenge like that it has to be spot on what of the referee think of it and this ordering off could mean the end of their push today well there's no way back now he's really let his teammates down here long Ryan hing's head it's one thing to sit deep it's another thing to sit that little bit too deep genuine chance that was going in well it's a decent looking attack this can he put it away and there it is the goal they wanted for security they lead by two now they can breathe that bit more easily well just look at this it's a good finish and reward for their pressure they really have controlled this game [Music] so two nil now errera nicely timed tackle well nearing the halftime interval and suffice it to say they're not making great use of Home Advantage Stuart your assessment well they can certainly play better than this they've been too slow in possession oh look at this Stuart an opportunity and a goal he's put it away A celebratory moment well you have to ask where's the defending the keeper is completely exposed but he still had to finish it and he did it really well it's a good goal blistering first half display and just look at that score [Applause] and the referee is quite rightly letting it go Herrera well they know they need to stop him bassi and inches away didn't miss by very much at all and they will make the change now [Applause] Tilman there will be one minute added on at the end and the wor is sounded for halime in this game well we're highlighting him for a reason Stuart he's putting in a really authoritative performance here well he's been a joy to watch so far he's got so much ability and it was also a very good finish for his goal he's been excellent 2nd half kick off so the two teams have SW around and the second half is underway Franco [Applause] Escobar this might have potential [Applause] Escobar using his strength to Shield the ball arur shaping to shoot and held with ease by [Music] lorice Christian Ola and continues his run [Applause] and it's played into the center well he failed to get it away properly well no way through in the end Sebastian [Applause] kovalic Sebastian f he read the situation defensively and did his job now the Counterattack looks on hulings head and it's with Sanchez well they're almost extending an invitation to have them come at them [Applause] well there's the pullback oh this looks useful oh dealt with by the goalkeeper well they've decided to make a [Music] change let's see about the delivery well a near early moment you've got to say well those stats back up what we've been watching it's been a really one-sided game and it's far too easy for them to open up this defense this could turn into a route atuesta might lead to a chance oh good defending to stop a decent looking attack Now options are [Applause] plenty and back with Campos and it's with Sanchez my goodness that save fully stretched he was one for his own highlights reel off the here it is now a substitution to be replaced by 25 Maxim Sho and over it comes and a goal Here There It Is they've done it well here it is again it's a Well delivered ball into the box which makes it a fairly simple finish in the end it's a really good goal and this is turning into something of a route 4N Maxim atuesta and teammates around him and that a piece of goalkeeping you're going to see again and again and again can someone get on the end of this read it well cleared it well haulings head must be and the goalkeeper has outdone himself with that save playing it short really favors this position great opportunity and the keeper really reacted brilliantly well from that sort of range it's a great save I have to say well opting for the short Corner in position and able to get a body on the way well back and forth in terms of possession could be terrific save substition so a Personnel change then 25 Griffin D entering the match number 21 Young G short Corner taken [Applause] very quick thinking there 5 minutes to go making considerable progress with the ball but nothing comes of it good defending it was and a throw in it's going to be and they will make the change now banga atuesta Oliva well 3 minutes of stoppage time added on here oh he's left as marker for dead can he finish this couldn't quite hang on oh he's blocked it Tilman he cuts it back and there goes the final whistle it's gone the wrong way as far as the home fans are concerned oh dear Derek that was a worrying display they were completely outplayed in almost every Department the coach has got a lot of work to do before the next game well as we run the rule over this man's work positive after positive Stewart well I thought he was excellent not only did he score a good goal but his General play was outstanding he certainly played a major part in their win here today one for
