El Campo native Memo Rodriguez scores difference in Dynamo's win over Galaxy

Houston fans might be forgiven for being unfazed when the Dynamo blew their lead to the L.A. Galaxy twice.

But in a moment the narrative changed when midfielder and El Campo native Memo Rodriguez bounced a header in the back of the net to rip a would-be draw away from Los Angeles in a 3-2 win at BBVA Compass Stadium on Saturday.

The Dynamo (3-3-2) scored early when, in the third minute, forward Romell Quioto chipped a lobbing free kick from outside the box on the left side of the field. The ball floated right and Dynamo defender Alejandro Fuenmayor emerged from the pack and elevated to tap the ball with the inside of his foot, guiding it into the net.
