A two-goal surge in the second half surge and a stoppage-time penalty kick save gave the Houston Dash their fourth win of the season in a 2-1 win over the Washington Spirit this evening at the Maryland SoccerPlex.
With the win, the Dash improved to 4-5-4 on the year and moved to within two points of a playoff spot with 11 games remaining in the season. The win was Houston’s third on the road this year, as they improved to 3-1-2 away from BBVA Stadium.
The Spirit found the back of the net first when midfielder Jordan Di Biasi took advantage of a defensive error inside the box and headed the ball past Dash goalkeeper Jane Campbell and into the net in the 52nd minute.
