The match up between the Houston Dynamo and the New York Red Bulls was a back and forth scoring battle that would eventually see the Red Bulls claim their first win of the season and the Dynamo their first loss of the season. Houston were without key starters Tyler Deric, Giles Barnes and Cristian Maidana, but they still managed to play a tough match and nearly came out with a win.
Back-up goal keeper Joe Willis came up with a big save early on as BWP was looking for a tap in goal.
