Dax McCarty (New York Red Bulls) wins a free kick in the attacking half.
36'
Foul by Óscar García (Houston Dynamo).
36'
Corner, New York Red Bulls. Conceded by Tally Hall.
SAVE: Tally Hall flies to deny Wright-Phillips a hat trick
Dan Dickinson@GothamistDan
Keep in mind: Marrufo averages 23.9 foul calls per game. He’s going to have to have a hell of a second half to keep his stats up. #NYvHOU
Dan Dickinson@GothamistDan
Jair Marrufo blows his whistle for the second time at 33 minutes, 30 seconds. #NYvHOU
OUCH: Boniek Garcia and Dax McCarty collide
35'
Offside, New York Red Bulls. Luis Robles tries a through ball, but Thierry Henry is caught offside.
34'
Péguy Luyindula (New York Red Bulls) wins a free kick in the defensive half.
34'
Foul by Ricardo Clark (Houston Dynamo).

Okay, maybe not *all* Miller - great tackle and pass from Henry to spring Miller. Still. #NYvHOU

BWP, WIDE! Some more good passing leads to a good look in front of goal by BWP, but ball was behind him and he scuffed it wide. #RBNY

21' Wright-Phillips nearly has his second, re-directing Alexander's low cross past the left post. #RBNY #NYvHOU

Alexander with some great play but BWP throws a golden chance away. Can’t figure him out. #NYvHOU
Nick@ForeignFker
Very open game so far with some good off the ball movement from both sides.. wish I could watch more, but time to go home #NYvHOU

19' Ball pings back centrally after Alexander corner kick and Armando heads straight at Hall. #RBNY #NYvHOU
Matthew Doyle@MLSAnalyst
Always shocked that Luyindula spent most of his career as a forward. Clearly, clearly, CLEARLY a central midfielder.
19'
Attempt saved. Armando (New York Red Bulls) header from the centre of the box is saved in the top centre of the goal.
Dave Martinez@EmpireOfSoccer
Dynamo targeting Armando. Getting torched. Luck for #RBNY, #ForeverOrange strikers look out of form. Barnes ruins moments w finish #NYvHOU
Franco Panizo@FrancoPanizo
Kimura with the secondary assist there. Have to say I've been mostly impressed with him in his starts. RB spot should be his for now. #RBNY
18'
Corner, New York Red Bulls. Conceded by Tony Cascio.
HoustonDynamo@HoustonDynamo
17' Bruin picks up the ball off a turnover and tests Robles from distance. Robles spills the shot, but no one close to challenge the rebound
CHANCE: Armando heads one on goal
Soccer_TSN@Soccer_TSN
Good chance for the Dynamo, but Andrew Driver puts his header directly at Robles. #NYvHOU
Bogdan Pasat@BGP42
This is something we are not used to. Dynamo has not been controlling the midfield much this season. Tough to win like that. #NYvHOU

Attempt saved. Will Bruin (Houston Dynamo) right footed shot from outside the box is saved in the centre of the goal. Assisted by Ricardo Clark.

17' Barnes gets free on the right side and puts in a pretty good cross, but Driver's header bounces into the arms of Robles. #NYvHOU
Franco Panizo@FrancoPanizo
He'll have more chances as season goes on and I think he'll continue to prove he's worth the money he's earning. His speed up top is needed.
Devin Pleuler@devinpleuler
Top notch "play on" from the referee there on the buildup for the Wright-Phillips goal. #NYvHOU
16'
Attempt saved. Andrew Driver (Houston Dynamo) header from the centre of the box is saved in the top centre of the goal. Assisted by Giles Barnes with a cross.
Matthew Doyle@MLSAnalyst
Such great off the ball movement from NY on that opening goal. Sam & Kimura switch spots, Dax does a "target d-mid" thing, Henry goes wide.
CHANCE: Andrew Driver smashes a header on target
David Dir@BigDfutbol
Great touch from McCarty and good ball in from henry but look at the choices in the box, some poor defending in this game #NYvHOU
Franco Panizo@FrancoPanizo
BWP hasn't had as strong a start to the season as he desired but he's def shown in flashes he has quality to make impact in MLS. #RBNY
Andrew Winner@Winner_MLS
Disappointing goal conceded for Houston. Ball went right by Horst -- he didn't even offer at it! #NYvHOU
Dave Martinez@EmpireOfSoccer
Think BWP wasn't frustrated with his lack of scoring? That post-goal punt and grimace said it all. #RBNY #NYvHOU
