Vancouver Whitecaps FC vs. Houston Dynamo FC | Full Match Highlights | July 20, 2024

record signing Ezekiel Pon to MLS with a start up front in place of Sebastian Ferrara he'll look to make deeper runs that the strong Dynamo Midfield can look to find with a mean bossi some question as to whether Ryan G can even start tonight but he's so valuable and he never stops running so he'll start again at the top of the diamond Midfield underneath Brian White and you want to go out on a high too ahead of the League's cup break you don't want to be thinking about a loss for that three or four week period and we are up under way with Hector Herrera getting that first pass away to dorsy on the right side for a diagonal ball to Fafa Pico found him perfectly lays it off for bur halter bur halter for Ryan G he'll try to cut that back Brian L is there and just missed the near post kubas toal looking for Balter flick in towards Pico he's surrounded now it's burh halter and he threads one through to CL Mar who makes the stop working against with step over to nearly able to split and now back for Koko kisia deflected on goal and it's in not a lot behind the strike but because it deflects it goes into the goal off of veselinovic and the early lead for Colorado for Houston rather ALU in all sorts of space just outside the box charges it Udi Tred to threat it for kisad dorsy curling one and Griffin dorsy is added to the lead it's 2-n for Houston and Ben Olsson has just looked back to the rest of his bench and said I didn't know he had that in his locker a left footed curler it's a beauty Beyond tacoa and again it's through alyu on that far side in the space he's afforded to be able to just pick out someone Inside the Box not tight enough from mvi and again bit of an aid of a deflection off of vui's foot perfectly into the line of path for Griffin dorsy to step into it and curl into the corner a beautiful marker to give Houston a two-nil lead a shot any worse than that does not go in it was almost eye of a needle accuracy there from dorsy White Taps that up for Pedro v v curling that around that is a beautiful pass for Papa Pico Pico and white p go nearly able to curl that around Clark who makes a fingertip save what a save beautiful save from Steve [Music] Clark bur halter steps over it'll be Pico curling that near side post it's off to side NTI not a bad effort though who gets it this time it's Bay just missing the far post Clark fully stretched out but it was wide anyhow the final whistle goes and bur halter sees a wide open Ed in the corner and now it's Roso cutting that back in and it's in cut it across the face of gold one good deflection deserves another the Dynamo taking advantage of deflections in the opening half in the White Caps here in the second and then raposo just first time with the eight of the deflection off he harara and then at the back post a couple of White Caps waiting on it Pico we mentioned Pico dribbling his way out of trouble ahed also in a bit of traffic and bur halter stings one through and Roso uses his chest but well wide of the mark bur halter line is right at the 18 yd box Pico with the tap he's still got it chipping that in for Brian White P does a terrific job to get through the goal scorer dorsy and then unmarked essentially ranco veselinovic he rises high and nods home from close distance somewhat normal for the White Caps Herrera wide for dorsy dorsy swings that in front dangerous in front of taoka but he makes the save and the fresh legs are taking over this match right now Ben Olsen finally calling over a couple of players KY on goal and Clark makes the easy save he had the angle covered sh is in space atak kuy and even more space atak kuy toward go P of s a kubi who plays a beautiful ball across two Runners across the face of goal and at the back post against his old team fafao scores the white caps but the Houston Defenders just can't get near any of the White Caps right now take looking for Pico Pico taken down to the Box nothing doing since photus bazaco M coming across does very well there I think he wins the ball initially this is an excellent angle of it oh yeah the kick of an ankle isn't it there's clearly intent from M referee here's the decision after there is no foul on the play restarts a throw there a couple of minutes of Our Lives we won't get back no and and maybe they're at the 89% and that doesn't pass the clear and obvious threshold looking for wide open Brad Smith he's in space not a lot of numbers with him though there's a shot and a scorcher from Brad Smith my goodness what a strike an absolute scorcher and we're tied at three again what a turn of events at BC Place just moments after it looked like the M caps might get a penalty to more than likely nice late goal against Colorado earlier in the year on a break like this as Houston was quick out of the gates going the other way and that is an absolutely Unstoppable strike left footed Smith Never afraid to have a strike veteran who's played in this league does it take a little touch as well perhaps but in any case goalkeeper he was never going to get anywhere near that and Houston is right back level [Applause] now jumping his step for Smith feeds the inside kowal Ferrera is there can't get a shot away Swings with the left foot still nothing doing outside the box and another one dorsey's done it again a brace for the right back as he Staples one to the twine and it's 4-3 for Houston and then when it comes to the edge of the area Griffin Dy just puts the laces through it the closest man to it is Ali Amed he can't get a block on it one last chance all the way out for Ali ahed ahed chipping that nobody on the other end of it and that is it bacos Blows the Whistle and the roller coaster of a match here at BC plays comes to a finish [Music]
