Mauro Manotas scored twice off assists by Alberth Elis in the first half to lead the host Houston Dynamo to a 3-0 victory over the Philadelphia Union in the final of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup at BBVA Compass Stadium on Wednesday.
It was the Dynamo's first Open Cup title and the first trophy for the organization since winning MLS Cups in 2006 and 2007.
There hadn't been a first-time winner of the Open Cup since 2001.
The Dynamo added an own goal by Philadelphia defender Auston Trusty in the 65th minute, and Joe Willis made five saves for the shutout.
