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

Alexander with some great play but BWP throws a golden chance away. Can’t figure him out. #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.

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

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

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

Think BWP wasn't frustrated with his lack of scoring? That post-goal punt and grimace said it all. #RBNY #NYvHOU
