Houston Dynamo maintained their unbeaten run at BBVA Compass Stadium with a hard-fought 1-1 draw against divisional rivals Sporting Kansas City. The visitors took the initiative in the first half, but Houston’s aggressive pressing and commitment to sending players forward to test Kansas City’s shaky backline was enough to evade defeat.
La Naranja now occupy the fourth position in the Western Conference and host Austin Bold FC in the U.S. Open Cup next Tuesday. The visitors are 10th in the West after last night’s result and will look to get a much-needed victory when they travel to BMO Field to take on a floundering Toronto FC side next Friday.
