The Dynamo got a goal from someone you’d expect to score and another from someone you would not en route to victory in their first preseason friendly of the season.
Alberth Elis, recently acquired on full transfer from Mexican club Monterrey, scored the first and 16-year old Dynamo Academy veteran Marcelo Palomino scored the second in the Dynamo’s 2-0 victory over the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley Wednesday night at H-E-B Park in Edinburg.
Though it was nice to win, that was not the most important aspect. Coach Wilmer Cabrera said he simply wanted to increase the intensity by playing against a different team and give his players an opportunity to increase their fitness base.
