Class was in session on Saturday afternoon at BBVA Compass Stadium. With the Houston Dynamo leading the Texas Derby 1-0 in the second half, Houston got what turned out to be the winning goal with a masterclass on counter-attacking. We’ve gone over a few textbook counter-attacking goals this season but Mauro Manotas’ second goal on Saturday has us now working towards our master’s degree.

The goal starts from an FC Dallas corner kick. The Dynamo win the corner and we see the ball headed away by a defender.
