In a battle between two teams on the verge of conference playoff berths, the Philadelphia Union snapped Houston's 10-game home unbeaten run, seizing control after the dismissal of Dynamo midfielder Tómas Martinez to win 3-1 at BBVA Compass Stadium on Wednesday.
With the game tied coming out of the locker room, Martinez moved to make his mark in the 47th minute, firing a shot from afar that curved, dipped then smacked off of the crossbar.
