Houston Dynamo FC looked to turn around a three league game losing streak utilizing the momentum gained in their US Open Cup win during the week with Nashville SC visiting PNC Stadium. Houston Dynamo put together a masterful effort in their 2-0 win in a game that emphasized a lot of quick passing through the midfield. Even after Houston went down a man in the first half, the Dynamo were able to hold on and get not just the win, but a shutout.
Houston came out very aggressively as they looked to set the tone of the game early with Darwin Quintero, Fafà Picault, and Adalberto “Coco” Carrasquilla all pushing up, passing quickly through the midfield which helped the Dynamo earn a corner in just the first minute.
