Despite going down 2-0 at halftime to a San Jose Earthquakes squad already out of the playoffs, the Houston Dynamo mounted a comeback with three second-half goals, winning 3-2 Saturday night at BBVA Compass Stadium and keeping their slim playoff hopes alive.
The Quakes took advantage of a couple of Alejandro Fuenmayor miscues to grab their halftime advantage. In the 35th minute, a lively Tommy Thompson ran in toward goal and drew enough contact from Fuenmayor to draw a penalty, which Wondolowski converted to open the scoring for his 143rd career MLS goal. Then in the 45th minute, it looked as if he scored a second goal putting him one within Landon Donovan's career scoring record, but Fuenmayor was ruled to have beaten Wondo to the ball for his second own goal in Houston's last three league matches.
