Houston Dynamo FC are coming off a midweek loss on the road to the Portland Timbers and wanted to regain some momentum back at PNC Stadium when they hosted the MLS newcomers, Charlotte FC. However, despite looking more in control from the back and in the midfield, Charlotte were better at taking advantage of their opportunities and forced the Dynamo into a 2-1 loss.
The opening minutes were relatively back and forth with both sides hungry to get the game’s first goal given their positions in their relative conference’s standings. Charlotte had a couple of close moments when they won the ball in the midfield, but failed to properly capitalize on their moment.
