The winless streak has grown to 16. The Houston Dynamo hoped to snap a 15 game winless streak going back to May 22nd but they were unable to do it at home with the Portland Timbers coming to BBVA Stadium. Portland was dominant in the first half and even though the Dynamo played much better in the second, the final score would read 2-0 to the Timbers.
Early into the game, the Timbers utilized a high press combined with accurate passing which pinned the Dynamo deep into their own half. Poor passing in the midfield by Houston led to Portland quickly transitioning the ball back into Houston’s half of the field.
