The Houston Dynamo claimed the 2016 BBVA Compass Dynamo Charities Cup with a 5-4 victory in penalties over Real Sociedad after finishing 3-3 in regulation.
The Dynamo jumped out to a 3-0 lead with goals from David Rocha, Mauro Manotas and an own goal caused by Manotas, but Real Sociedad roared back in the second half to tie things up before the final whistle. In penalties, La Real captain Xabi Prieto missed the lone attempt as he put his chip shot down the middle off the crossbar.
Houston got on the board in the 22nd minute after Real Sociedad controlled much of the early proceedings.
