The Houston Dynamo have now dropped back-to-back games in their double game week first losing to the Philadelphia Union this past Wednesday and then falling to the Portland Timbers 1-2 on the road over the weekend. The Dynamo had their chances against Portland at Providence Park, but played conservatively for a large portion in the second half which let Portland back in the game.
Quick Thoughts about the Game:
1) Wilmer Cabrera opted for a defensive lineup that featured 5 defenders at the back. My initial reaction was that we could see a repeat of the 5-man back line that we saw against the Colorado Rapids.
