Houston Dynamo

Ronaldo Pena scored the tying goal in the 88th minute to lift the struggling Houston Dynamo to a 1-1 draw with FC Dallas on Thursday night in Houston in the second Texas Derby of the season.

Pena's goal, off an assist from Tomas Martinez, came just five minutes after Michael Barrios propelled FC Dallas into the lead with a determined run and finish.

But Pena, working just outside the box with the Dynamo in desperation mode, faked a pass, wheeled and ripped a shot into the right corner of the net past Dallas goalkeeper Jimmy Maurer for his first MLS goal.
