[Leagues Cup Houston Dynamo Tigres UANL 1-4] Electrifying is the word of the match when it comes to how both teams faced off on the pitch at shell energy stadium. Even though the Houston Dynamo fell behind, they took an even bigger hit when it came to confidence as Angel Correa scored the first point of the match for the Tigres UANL towards the end of the first half. This is not to say that the Houston Dynamo didn’t play well during the first half, it's just that the Dynamo’s simply failed to not only drive the ball towards the goal, but they failed to demonstrate the high level of drive on the pitch that is needed to play against a team like Tigres UANL.
With the Dynamo taking 4 shots, possessing the ball 37% of the time during the first half, passing the ball 174 times with a 85% pass accuracy rate they were simply over taken by the dominance of Tigres UANL on the pitch as they took 7 shots, with3 shots on target, possessing the ball 63% with a whopping 304 passes with pass accuracy rate of 88%, it says a lot what happened during the first half of the match.
But the Houston Dynamo were able to come back from that within the first three minutes of the second half. This was due to Tigres UANL losing possession of the ball and Ondrej Lingr scoring for the Houston Dynamo and tying the match. Scoring this point greatly boosted the morale of the Houston Dynamo’s. This dopamine from the Dynamo’s scoring their first goal of the match seemed to be short lived as Diego Laninez scored again for Tigres UANL at the 63-minute mark.
