The Houston Dynamo did not follow up their 4-0 season open win against Atlanta United FC in style as they were defeated at home by the Vancouver Whitecaps 1-2. Although the Dynamo mounted chance after chance to equalize late in the game, the defensive minded Caps kept the door closed.
The Top Performers:
Alberth Elis, Man of the Match, (8.2) – Once again Alberth Elis was the Man of the Match for the Dynamo and deservedly so. Elis was the most active offensive player for Houston as he was able to create plenty of chances, make dangerous runs, pressure defenders, draw fouls, and most importantly, find the back of the net.
