Houston Dynamo FC hoped to follow up their win against Austin FC with a good performance on the road as they made their way to Dignity Health Sports Park to take on the LA Galaxy. Despite a quality showing overall, the Dynamo only managed a 1-1 draw with the Galaxy even though for much of the game, the visitors were the ones that were the more commanding side.
Houston came out with a lot of energy in the opening minutes. They set a physical tone with Joe Corona fouling Victor Vázquez in the first or second minute.
