The Houston Dynamo bounced back from their loss against the Colorado Rapids with sound strategy and a deserved three points at BBVA Stadium against the Vancouver Whitecaps in their 2-1 win this past Saturday. Here are a few of my brief thoughts from the win, but mostly I’m happy that the Dynamo have surprised me this season with their form specifically at home.
1) The Dynamo were absolutely in control of this game for the majority of the match with the exception of the end – more on that later. I think my favorite tactic was their use of the full backs and long through balls which stretched the Whitecaps’ defense.
