Dynamo defeat Earthquakes, continue best start in club history
The Houston Dynamo are off to their best five-game league start in club history thanks to a 2-1 win over the San Jose Earthquakes at BBVA Compass Stadium on Saturday.
Houston (4-0-1; 13 points), winner of four straight, wasn't short of chances early.
Forwards Mauro Manotas and Alberth Elis nearly connected for a sixth-minute goal that was saved at close-range. Two minutes later, in a desperate defensive sequence, San Jose fended away a Manotas shot then repelled Marlon Hairston seconds later after Boniek Garcia made an acrobatic effort to retain possession along the end line.
