Goals from Alberth Elis and Erick Torres helped Houston Dynamo go top of the Western Conference.
Houston Dynamo moved top of the Western Conference in MLS with a 2-1 win at home to the Vancouver Whitecaps on Friday.
Alberth Elis opened the scoring at BBVA Compass Stadium in Texas before Erick Torres' second-half penalty.
The hosts held on despite Brek Shea coming off the bench to pull a goal back for the Whitecaps late in the clash.
Houston's sixth win in 10 league games saw them go top, while Vancouver stayed sixth.
Dynamo took a 15th-minute lead through Elis, who headed in a cross from fellow Honduran Romell Quioto at the back post.
