Houston Dynamo's Wade Barrett surprised rainy Texas Derby wasn't postponed
FC Dallas look to avenge a 5-0 loss earlier in the season to in-state rival Houston Dynamo on a rainy Thursday night at Toyota Stadium.Houston Dynamo assistant coach Wade Barrett said he was surprised his team's match with FC Dallas kicked off as planned on Thursday night in a torrential downpour.
The Texas Derby ended in a 1-1 draw, but the match was suspended after four minutes because of heavy rains. After a two-hour rain delay, play was resumed with Dallas taking the lead in the 29th minute on a Ryan Hollingshead goal.
Ricardo Clark tied it in the second half to earn the Dynamo a point, but Barrett said the delay made for less-than-ideal circumstances for both teams.
