While the performance and the manner of the result looked ugly, the fallout from the Dynamo's preseason game Wednesday will be anything but.
According to coach Wilmer Cabrera the devil was in the details.
Houston scored twice in the first half but conceded that many in the second half and settled for a 2-2 draw with the New York Red Bulls' reserve squad in the third preseason game at the Desert Diamond Cup in Tucson, Ariz.
The game featured teams at different stages of the preseason. The Dynamo are building up fitness and used Wednesday's game as an opportunity for some players to play extended minutes for the first time.
