A trip to Los Angeles is never easy in Major League Soccer and the Dynamo may have more bad memories of playing in Carson than any team in the league. Friday night was no different with Houston suffering their first defeat of the 2019 season, a 2-1 loss to the Galaxy. All was not lost, however, as Alberth Elis continued his torrid start, scoring the lone Dynamo goal of the match. Quick thinking from Tomas Martinez and Elis’ 1 v 1 ability are the highlight of this week’s Anatomy of a Goal.
