The Houston heat and humidity played its part in the Texas Derby as tensions boiled over in Friday’s 1-1 draw between the Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas.
An 80th minute shoving match between Dynamo midfielder Alex and Dallas right back Hernan Grana, that resulted in a yellow card for each player, was the finishing touch in this season’s second Texas Derby match.
Simply put, these two teams won’t be inviting each other over for a good ol’ Texas barbecue anytime soon.
“We don’t really like each other,” FC Dallas center back Matt Hedges said on the physicality of the game.
