58’ - Horst now collides hard with the ground and is left gasping for breath. He is having a lot of trouble with the facilities today.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/18/2015 10:35:34 PM
Looks like Andy Rose is about to come on for Seattle. Friberg really laboring

61’ - Ozzie whistled for a foul and gets one last warning from the referee. Still available for next week’s match (phew).

62' SUB: Andy Rose on for Erik Friberg. #HOUvSEA

by Houston Dynamo via twitter 10/18/2015 10:37:44 PM
Yep. Rose replaces Friberg to make his first MLS appearance since Aug. 22

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/18/2015 10:38:08 PM
62’ - SEA SUB: Friberg will be replaced by @andyrose_5 .

63' Ball hits off a Seattle defender and falls to Bruin, he lines up a hit but it deflects for a corner, which is cleared. #HOUvSEA

64' Yellow card issued to Luis Garrido. #HOUvSEA

by Houston Dynamo via twitter 10/18/2015 10:39:02 PM
Houston is cordially welcoming Ivanschitz to MLS. Garrido gets a yellow card for the most recent late tackle

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/18/2015 10:39:16 PM
63’ - Bruin lines up a shot in the 18, but Bradley Evans blocks it for a corner! Frei comes out to puck the ensuing corner. Moving on! 0-0

GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL RICOOOOOOOO

64’ - Yellow out for Garrido for an elbow against Ivanschitz in the air. Ouch again.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/18/2015 10:40:15 PM
65' Garrido wins a ball and finds Davis on the wing. Clark is allll alone at the top of the box and Davis finds him. Low shot --> goal. 1-0.

by Houston Dynamo via twitter 10/18/2015 10:40:30 PM
That'd been coming, too. Maybe that goal will finally wake the Sounders up

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/18/2015 10:40:48 PM
65’ - GOAL! Dynamo break the deadlock via Ricardo Clark. He sends it low to the left of Frei and it’s 1-0. #HOUvSEA

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/18/2015 10:41:03 PM
Aaaaaaand Houston charges forward off the restart to earn another corner

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/18/2015 10:41:15 PM

Fitting that @RicoC13 and @Brad_Davis11 team up for a goal as we celebrate the 10th season of Dynamo soccer. #ForeverOrange

Chad Barrett about to come on

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/18/2015 10:42:42 PM
Trick question. Barrett replaces Pineda in the 68th twitter.com/ChamberiSeattl…

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/18/2015 10:43:41 PM
68' SUB: Chad Barrett replaces Gonzalo Pineda. #HOUvSEA

by Houston Dynamo via twitter 10/18/2015 10:44:08 PM
68’ - This game could use another Chad, and that’s what it will get.

Chad Barrett comes on for Pineda.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/18/2015 10:44:50 PM
Yeah, the lack of urgency down the stretch has been baffling. This on the back of a similar dud in Kansas City twitter.com/escoseas/statu…

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/18/2015 10:45:06 PM
Got hurt on international duty and didn't make the trip. Valdez out injured, too twitter.com/tfabian13/stat…

One of the happiest moment in my career so far is to score for my team.my first @MLS goal.So proud to be apart of this team#NYRB

Seattle's strategy seems to have shifted from "save us, Clint and Oba" to "save us, Austrian David Beckham's free kicks"

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/18/2015 10:46:44 PM
71' Yellow card issued to Chad Barrett. Quick impact. #HOUvSEA

by Houston Dynamo via twitter 10/18/2015 10:46:50 PM
How fitting to see my boy @RicoC13 score @HoustonDynamo 10yr anniversary & still a beast on the field...

by dwaynederosario via twitter retweeted by HoustonDynamo 10/18/2015 10:47:48 PM
71’ - Rose full on Kam Chancellored and no penalty called….Now a yellow card for Chad Barrett. Still 1-0 #HOUvSEA

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/18/2015 10:47:50 PM
74' SUB: Alex replaces Leonel Miranda. Dynamo still with the one goal lead. #HOUvSEA

by Houston Dynamo via twitter 10/18/2015 10:49:14 PM
74’ - HOU SUB: Alex will come on for Miranda and we still need one (and two to clinch a postseason spot).

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/18/2015 10:50:33 PM
75' Martins with a chip intended for Rose, but it rolls through the box and out of bounds. #HOUvSEA

by Houston Dynamo via twitter 10/18/2015 10:50:58 PM
75’ - Almost another one-v-one chance between Oba and Andy, but the final ball a little too long for Andy aaaaaand a Houston GK.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/18/2015 10:51:40 PM
76’ - Second #Sounders corner coming and Ivanschitz finds Clint for a header, but it is well over the bar and going the other way.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/18/2015 10:52:57 PM
Ask and you shall receive. At least in the case for @RicoC13 's goal. #HOUvSEA snpy.tv/1RQp1qU

Seattle breaks, Barrett plays in Martins ... and the shot/cross is right at Deric. Sounders with 10 minutes to find a goal

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/18/2015 10:55:58 PM
79’ - Time running out for the boys in green to find an equalizer (and hopefully a winner). Nothing moving forward right now.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/18/2015 10:56:09 PM
Seattle makes its final sub. Scott replaces Remick

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/18/2015 10:57:04 PM
82' SUB: Zach Scott on for Dylan Remick. #HOUvSEA

by Houston Dynamo via twitter 10/18/2015 10:57:11 PM
80’ - As I say nothing moves forward, Barrett runs the length of the field and Oba gets a cross parallel to goal but Deric out to grab.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/18/2015 10:57:12 PM
82’ - Mr. #Sounder himself checks into this one and will replace Remick.
