The Houston Dynamo earned their third consecutive victory with a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Sporting Kansas City this evening at BBVA Stadium. Goals from Alberth Elis and Mauro Manotas in the final half-hour propelled the Dynamo to the victory.
Kickoff was delayed by 12 minutes due to lightning in the area around BBVA Stadium and a light mist began to fall right at the opening whistle. With the teams squaring off for the third time this season and second time in 10 days, it was a cagey affair early on. Both teams were well aware of the other side’s intentions and appeared determined not to give an inch, leaving chances hard to come by during the first half-hour.
