DaMarcus Beasley gave the Houston Dynamo a first half lead, but Octavio Rivero equalized for the Vancouver Whitecaps early in the second half as both teams settled for a 1-1 draw Saturday at BC Place.
Houston jumped ahead in the 20th minute on Beasley’s first goal of the season. Alex threaded a perfect ball to Beasley, who cut back on a sliding Tim Parker before lifting the ball into the net from eight yards out.
Both teams were reduced to 10 men when Alex and Pedro Morales were both given straight red cards for an altercation three minutes from halftime.
