Houston Dynamo FC were able to grind out a midweek matchup against rival Sporting Kansas City with a 1-0 win. The game was largely back and forth and featured plenty of close chances, but the Dynamo were probably the more deserving side to earn the three points. Here are a few brief observations of mine from the match and please let us know in the comments below anything you noticed.
1) As I mentioned above, this was a back and forth game. It seemed like every time a team took their foot off the gas to try and get a second wind in the future that the other was positioned to take advantage of that period by increasing their pressure and possession within the other’s half.
