Dynamo goalkeeper Tyler Deric had not played in seven weeks, but coach Wilmer Cabrera knew he was exactly who the team needed in Sunday's Texas Derby opener against FC Dallas.
The defense was struggling to close down attacking players, and those attacking players were getting great looks at the goal. Sometimes there is nothing a goalkeeper can do. Other times there is a small window in which the goalkeeper can do something spectacular.
Those moments are why Cabrera went back to Deric after picking Joe Willis as the starter for the last seven games.
