For a team that scored the second-fewest goals in the 2016 MLS season, finding the back of the net just 39 times in 34 games, seeing the ball go in nine times in the preseason Desert Diamond Cup tournament was a welcome sight for the Houston Dynamo.
The glut of goals included Romell Quioto's brace in last Saturday's preseason finale, a 2-0 victory over Colorado that gave Houston the Desert Diamond Cup trophy for the first time.
Head coach Wilmer Cabrera is pleased with those results and the attacking prowess displayed by his team, but said at training this week that there’s still a long way to go.
