HOUSTON — New York City FC’s road struggles continue.
Alberth Elis scored his seventh goal of the season to help the Houston Dynamo beat NYCFC 3-1 on Friday night.
NYCFC (7-3-3) is winless in the past five road games — with three losses.
Houston tied it at 1 in the 21st minute when Alejandro Fuenmayor headed home a free kick from just outside the penalty box. Tomas Martinez made it 2-1 in the 69th after NYCFC’s defensive turnover.
Elis scored on a counter attack in the 80th. His header was saved but it came right back to him for the finish.
