The Houston Dynamo closed their first preseason trip with a 9-1 aggregate victory over their USL affiliate, RGV FC. The game was divided into three 30-minute periods, and the Dynamo rotated players throughout the contest. Houston won the three periods 1-0, 3-0 and 4-1, respectively.
The Dynamo opened the scoring as the first period was coming to an end. In the 27th minute, goalkeeper Chris Seitz sent a long punt down the left side, springing forward Andrew Wenger toward the byline. Wenger sent in a cross that found midfielder Arturo Alvarez, who took a touch and buried a left-footed shot in the lower left corner.
