6,000 fans, 100% chance of rain, 3 goals, and 3 points for the Houston Dynamo. There are various numbers that fans can look at after a game: possession stats, shots on target, passes into the penalty area, to name a few. Some of the stats are predictive of future results, some are descriptive of a team’s playstyle and some are just for kicks. In this article I go through all the stats and summarize the metrics that I think are the most note-worthy.
