The Houston Dynamo saw their road woes continue with a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Union in front of 15,234 fans at Talen Energy Stadium Wednesday evening.
A pair of first-half goals from the Union spelled doom for the Dynamo, who were unable to recreate the wide-open and free-flowing playing style in which they have thrived at home this season.
The Union opened the scoring in the 17th minute when midfielder Chris Pontius sent a cross from the right side to the center of the box where midfielder Fafa Picault outjumped the Dynamo defense and smashed a headed shot off of the crossbar and into the net.
