Tomas Martinez is feeling more comfortable by the week as he trains and plays with the Dynamo, but there is nothing like scoring for the first time to raise a player's confidence.
Martinez just wishes his first goal had led to more.
The 22-year old Young Designated Player scored for the first time Wednesday night against the LA Galaxy at BBVA Compass Stadium. His goal in the 26th minute cut the Dynamo's deficit in half of their eventual 3-3 draw.
After receiving a pass from A.J. DeLaGarza, Martinez stayed strong as a defender bumped him in the penalty area.
