Following a strong defensive showing and not so great offensive outing in the Houston Dynamo season opening 0-0 draw against Real Salt Lake the Dynamo have the chance to improve in their first road game of the year when they travel to Children’s Mercy Park to face Sporting Kansas City. This will be familiar ground for new Dynamo Head Coach Paulo Nagamura as he spent a large portion of his playing career with SKC and was a coach of their USL team, Sporting Kansas City II. The Dynamo failed to win a road game in the 2021 season, so a positive result would send a strong message to fans that 2021 is well behind the club.
