Charlotte and Houston Dynamo play out goalless draw
Charlotte and Houston Dynamo shared a goalless draw in Major League Soccer's Regular Season round 23, played at Bank of America Stadium. Neither side found a breakthrough despite the match producing 27 shots between them, leaving both to settle for a point in front of referee Guido Gonzalez.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Houston controlled far more of the ball, holding 65% possession and outshooting the hosts 18 to 9, with five efforts on target to Charlotte's three. Yet Kristijan Kahlina's goal remained unbreached, and Charlotte, despite seeing far less of the ball, matched their visitors' resolve at the back throughout the ninety minutes.
Discipline proved costly for the home side, who finished with a man fewer after picking up a red card, while also collecting five yellow cards to Houston's four across a physical contest that produced 24 fouls in total. Neither team could force the decisive moment, and the game finished level.
Guilherme was rated the top performer on the pitch with an 8.21 mark, edging out teammate Artur, though neither forward found the net in a goalless affair.
Houston's dominance in possession, at 65% to Charlotte's 35%, underlined how much of the match they controlled without managing to convert it into a goal.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Charlotte 46%, the draw 28%, Houston Dynamo 26%. It finished Charlotte 0–0 Houston Dynamo.
Level sides, home ground swings it — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Major League Soccer home advantage gives Charlotte the lean. The draw at 28% is up from the usual 26.5% between sides this level, as small adjustments add up.
Why Charlotte in front?
Home ground, mostly. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1612 to 1598. Sides this close won 45.6% of 14,560 home games (draw 26.5%, visitors 27.9%). Major League Soccer home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to away wins (25.8% vs 30.2%). Major League Soccer homes won 49.4% of 5,132 games vs 44.9% across all 99,727 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 46%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Houston Dynamo hold 6 more possession points (52 to 46 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, when the visitors held this control edge the home team's win rate fell to 40.2% across 5,567 games, from 44.0% when styles were level.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Houston Dynamo win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,731. The goals environment adds 1.4 points to the draw. The control factor adds 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Last 3 between them: Charlotte 2 wins, 0 draws, Houston Dynamo 1 win. Most recently Houston Dynamo 1–0 Charlotte, 2 years ago. Fixture history hasn't carried forward once class is level: past leaders won just 43.1% of 5073 such games — no measurable edge, 0 points.
