Houston Dynamo FC were looking to rebound from losses to two Texas teams which those losses typically sting a bit more than the regular ones as the team made its way to the East Coast to take on D.C. United at Audi Field hoping to get their second away win of the season. Unfortunately for the Dynamo, they were outplayed and fell 2-0 on the road.
D.C. United came out very aggressively with a high line and were pressuring the Dynamo deep into their half of the field. As a result the Dynamo struggled to get the ball out of their half and really string together passes due to them constantly having to clear the ball from danger which sent possession back to the home side.
