Of course, Portland FC played a great game last night, but while facing off against the Houston Dynamo, it simply didn’t matter as the Houston Dynamo continued to smash both the Portland FC and all expectations. Scores for the night for Portland FC were Striker Gage Guerra at the 45+1 minute and Winger Kristoffer Velde at the 79th minute. For the Houston Dynamo, the scorers for the night would be Left Winger Guilherme at the 62nd minute, Defender Felipe Andrade at the 77th minute, and Midfielder Mateusz Bogusz at the 90+16th minute of the match.

The next Houston Dynamo match will be with them facing off against FC Dallas on Saturday March 21, with kickoff being at 7:30pm. While the current win probability is not in the favor of the Houston Dynamo as it stands with the Houston Dynamo having a 29% chance of winning to FC Dallas’s 43% chance of winning with a 28% chance of a draw between the two teams; many Dynamo fans are optimistic about the Houston Dynamo possessing the ability to defeat FC Dallas on their own turf. The reason for this is because of this year's lineup. But like every Dynamo fan out there, the only thing we all can do is wait and see.
