It was Richards’ second goal of the season. Coincidentally, his only other goal also came against the Dyanmo during their April 2 encounter. In that match, the Red Bulls settled for a 1-1 tie.
The assist was Rodgers' second of the season, to go along with three goals. This was the first time he has started without Thierry Henry next to him. Henry did not make the trip to Houston and was replaced in the staring lineup by Juan Agudelo.
