MLS Review: Dynamo hold FC Dallas to late draw, Columbus and Chicago share spoils

Ronaldo Pena scored his first goal for the Houston Dynamo in a dramatic Texas derby draw against MLS high-flyers FC Dallas.

Venezuelan Pena equalised in the 88th minute as struggling Houston held the Western Conference leaders to a 1-1 draw on Thursday.

Dallas – four points clear atop the west – looked to have snatched all three points when Michael Barrios broke the deadlock with seven minutes remaining in Houston.

Barrios outpaced and outmuscled Andrew Wenger before rolling the ball past Dynamo goalkeeper Joe Willis.

Houston, however, were not done as Pena responded five minutes later with a low shot from the edge of the box.
