The Houston Dynamo opened their 2017 preseason with a 5-0 win against the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley at H-E-B Park in Edinburg, Texas on Saturday night. The game consisted of two 30-minute halves in which many of the newcomers to the team showcased their talent.
Forward Mauro Manotas opened the scoring in the 12th minute on an assist by forward Romell Quioto, who dribbled his way down the left side and chipped a cross to the middle of the box. Quioto’s assist was not the only assist made by a Honduran newcomer, as forward Alberth Elis went down the right side and set up midfielder Alex in front of the net for a goal in the 23rd minute.
