For a third time in franchise history, the Philadelphia Union have to settle for runners up in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup after losing to the Houston Dynamo 3-0 on Wednesday night at BBVA Compass Stadium.
Things started brightly for the Union when Fafa Picault appeared to have put the blue and gold in front. But he was correctly ruled offside and the Dynamo responded seconds later with a goal from Mauro Manotas.
On the play, Alberth Elis beat Ray Gaddis to the end line and crossed the ball back to the head of Manotas.
