Houston Dynamo Vs. FC Dallas: Ugo Ihemelu Puts FCD Up 2-1
Both teams traded goals in the first half with Andrew Jacobson heading home a goal in the 27th minute and Houston Dynamo striker Cam Weaver finishing off a Brad Davis pass just before halftime.
The bigger story now may be the fact that the Dynamo are now down to ten men after rookie Kofi Sarkodie took Brek Shea down and received his second yellow card of the match. Without Sarkodie in the back, the Dynamo will now have to shift things around and find a way to get their possession game back up to what it was in the first half when Davis was making runs through the Dallas defense and found space on the wings to set up the lone Dynamo goal.
