Houston Dynamo FC hoped to keep their unbeaten run going following a thrilling 4-3 win over the visiting San Jose Earthquakes. This week the Dynamo were visited by a more difficult opponent in the Portland Timbers. They were able to keep the unbeaten run alive, but unable to get the three points in the 0-0 draw.
The early minutes showed the Dynamo space themselves very well which allowed their ability to possess in the midfield and take possession to quickly look to counter. The Timbers defended well and often looked to slow the game to pick their moments a little more carefully.
