FRISCO, Texas -- In a matchup that featured stars all over the field, goalkeepers Tyler Deric and Jesse Gonzalez stole the show Sunday night in a scoreless Texas Derby.
Making his first start for the Houston Dynamo since April 8 against the New England Revolution, Deric made four saves, his biggest stop coming early.
In the 27th minute, Kellyn Acosta struck a gorgeous free kick that was pinpointed for the upper right corner of the goalmouth, but Deric was able to knock the ball off the crossbar before corralling it (video above).
“Yeah, I just try to get a good spot, try to organize the wall and make it difficult for the striker to beat me,” Deric said of the save.
