Mauro Manotas scored twice and Erick Torres, Will Bruin and Cristian Maidana added goals as the Houston Dynamo continued preseason with a 5-0 win over Houston Baptist University Saturday morning at Houston Sports Park.
Three newcomers made their Dynamo preseason debuts. Cristian “Chaco” Maidana made his first appearance and scored early in the second half after an ankle injury kept him out of the three Tucson friendlies. The Spanish tandem of Agus Garcia and David Rocha also made their first appearance after arriving in Houston on Tuesday and practicing for the first time yesterday.
Dynamo head coach Owen Coyle used a mixed lineup in each half, with Agus Garcia joining the familiar backline of Sheanon Williams, Raul Rodriguez and DaMarcus Beasley in the starting lineup.
