Houston Dynamo FC were looking to follow up a win over Nashville SC when they took on the Seattle Sounders at PNC Stadium. Houston had struggled in league play prior to their win over Nashville and hoped to bounce back against the CONCACAF Champions League winners. Despite a pretty solid outing, a first half goal was enough for the visitors to get the win in an entertaining, but disappointing 1-0 loss to the Sounders.
The opening minutes were played quickly through the midfield to the forwards by both teams. Nicolás Lodeiro had a good dipping shot saved by Dynamo goalkeeper Steve Clark.
