The Houston Dynamo dropped a 3-1 result this evening to Nashville SC at BBVA Stadium.
After a slow-paced first quarter-hour, Nashville broke through with the opening goal through midfielder Hany Mukhtar. The attacker drifted into space between Houston’s lines and ran onto a pass from forward Abu Danladi before rounding a defender and tucking a low rolling shot inside the left post.
The visitors doubled the lead four minutes later, this time with Danladi playing the role of finisher. After some nifty combination play in midfield, winger Taylor Washington got free along the left flank and whipped in a cross that found Danladi streaking toward goal, and the forward’s header was buried in the back of the net.
