The Houston Dynamo defeated the RGV FC Toros 2-1 Tuesday morning in a closed-door preseason scrimmage at Houston Sports Park.
RGV, Houston's USL Championship hybrid affiliate, created the first dangerous opportunity of the game in the ninth minute when forward James Murphy won the ball in midfield and played a long diagonal ball down the right flank to forward Aldo Quintanilla. Quintanilla collected and then slipped a pass to forward Maalique Foster behind the Dynamo back line. The Jamaican international was able to get a shot off, but Dynamo goalkeeper Joe Willis came off his line and quickly got to the ground to save the low, driven effort.
