HOUSTON, TX – Vancouver Whitecaps FC’s (4W-5L-1D) bid for a third straight road win fell just short on Friday night at BBVA Compass Stadium.
The ‘Caps fell 2-1 to Houston Dynamo despite another goal from Brek Shea – his third in as many matches. Shea, who grew up just outside of Houston, pulled the ‘Caps within one with an 85th-minute header after goals from Alberth Elis and MLS Golden Boot leader Erick Torres, whose 68th-minute penalty proved the difference.
Friday’s match concluded a four-match road trip for Vancouver, who now return to BC Place after posting a respectable 2W-2L-0D record during their travels.
