[HOUSTON DYNAMO DEFEATS LA GALAXY] In what Houston Dynamo fans are calling a “glorious match”, the Houston Dynamo was able to defeat the L.A. Galaxy 1-0 in one of the biggest match up’s of the year. Last night's match sold out at the Shell Energy Stadium and left Dynamo fans electrified by the gameplay and level of aggression on the pitch by the two teams. With the Houston Dynamo scoring the first goal of the night at the 21st minute of the start of the match, the L.A. Galaxy appeared to have a hard time overcoming that unexpected penalty kick which was executed by Dynamo Striker Guilherme.
Looking at the key team stats, the Houston Dynamo dominated the L.A. Galaxy in all major categories on the pitch without exception. The Dynamo took a total of nine shots, in which 3 of those nine landed on target. In contrast the L.A. Galaxy took a total of eight shots with two of those eight shots being on target. The Houston Dynamo possessed the ball 59% of the time with a pass accuracy rate of 93%. The L.A. Galaxy trailed behind possessing the ball 41% of the time with a pass accuracy rate of 88%.
In terms of outright passing, the Houston Dynamo executed a total of 528 passes while the L.A. Galaxy executed 325 passes. In other key stats, the Dynamo racked up 15 fouls while the L.A. Galaxy racked up 13 fouls. The Houston Dynamo’s were issued three yellow cards while the L.A. Galaxy in the contest were issued one yellow card. Both teams missed one red card apiece. In terms of being called offsides, the Houston Dynamo’s received a call for being offside twice and the L.A. Galaxy were called for being offsides once. The Houston Dynamo took a total of four corners. The L.A. Galaxy took a total of three corners.
For fans of the Houston Dynamo, they all agreed the Houston Dynamo did a very good job at preventing the L.A. Galaxy from scoring a goal during last night's match. The only question they are collectively asking is “Can the Houston Dynamo continue to carry their winning game streak and momentum against the Vancouver Whitecaps as they face off on Wednesday, August 19th at the BC Place in British Columbia?” The current win probably lies in favor of the whitecaps defeating the Houston Dynamo 65% to 15% with a 20% chance of a draw.
