Now that the Dynamo have established a strong home-field advantage their next quest is to prove they are not a one-trick pony.
Houston on Friday hopes to buck the league-wide trend and score a victory on the road against powerful Toronto FC. The third-place Dynamo are 0-2 on the road and desperately need to build a track record for getting points away from home if they want to separate themselves from the chasers in the Western Conference.
The Dynamo (4-2-1) are one of 10 MLS teams without a road victory and one of three teams to lose all their road games.
