MLS Recap: Houston Dynamo 0, New York City FC 2

New York City FC regained the top spot in the Eastern Conference, and David Villa scored his second brace in two weeks in a 2-0 win over the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium on Friday.

After a subdued first half on both ends, Villa opened the scoring in impressive fashion in the 52nd minute. He received a pass following a short corner, took a long touch towards goal, and scored from a very narrow angle, nutmegging Houston goalkeeper Joe Willis in the process.

Following that, the Dynamo started to work their way into the game, and Raúl Rodríguez just barely missed equalizing in the 73rd minute, as his shot bounced off the post.
