The Houston Dynamo scored late but were unable to find the equalizer, falling 2-1 to Sporting Kansas City this evening at BBVA Stadium.
Tonight’s meeting was the fourth of the season between the two sides, and the win allowed Sporting to salvage a split of the season series, with each team winning twice. Despite the scoreline, the Dynamo had the better of play over the course of the evening, holding the ball for nearly two-thirds of the contest, attempting nearly 600 passes, outshooting Sporting and holding a 17-6 edge in crosses from open play.
Sporting took the lead in the 34th minute through forward Alan Pulido.
