It has been two very contrasting seasons for the clubs on different sides of the US from each other. Houston Dynamo are experiencing a revival and a club turnaround, while Minnesota has found expansion life difficult.
The Dynamo have been a revelation so far in MLS scoring eleven goals, but also letting in nine with a leaky defense. Wilmer Cabrera has made an instant impact in Houston with his latin-flavored, counter-attacking soccer led by the comeback of Mexican striker Erick “Cubo: Torres. He’s bagged six goals to lead MLS, followed by four assists by Alex Lima, and a lot of help from the quick Honduran winger duo of Quioto and Elis.
