Houston Dynamo FC Close Two-Game Road Trip on Sunday

July 16, 2022 – Major League Soccer (MLS) – Houston Dynamo FC News Release

HOUSTON – Houston Dynamo FC close a two-game road trip on Sunday at PayPal Park when they face the San Jose Earthquakes at 8:30 p.m. CT. The match will air live in English on AT&T SportsNet Southwest and in Spanish on TeleXitos 47.2.

The Dynamo look to bounce back after Tuesday’s loss in the state capital against Austin FC. Houston took the lead early in the match after defender Adam Lundkvist found midfielder Coco Carrasquilla on the left flank. Carrasquilla muscled his way past an Austin defender to score the opening goal of the game and his second tally of the season. Lundkvist now leads the team with five assists and that marks a new regular season high for the Swedish outside back.

Lundkvist’s first assist of the season came in Houston’s 4-3 victory over San Jose at PNC Stadium on April 9. Forward Sebas Ferreira finished with a brace in Houston’s victory on April 9 and his goal in the eighth minute was his first goal for the Dynamo. Forward Darwin Quintero also scored a goal and defender Teenage Hadebe found the back of the net in the second half.

The Dynamo have won two of the last three meetings with San Jose and enter Sunday’s game with a 15-9-4 (WLD) record in the all-time series. Houston is looking for their fifth victory on the road against the Earthquakes and the first since a 2-1 triumph on Aug. 19, 2016. The two teams played to a 1-1 draw in the last meeting at PayPal Park on July 24, 2021.

San Jose has won two of their last three games and enter Sunday’s game with a 5-3-4 record (WLD) since Alex Covelo was named the interim head coach on April 18. Covelo replaced Matias Almeyda after the Earthquakes began the season winless in their first seven games and started with a 0-4-3 record. The Earthquakes enter Sunday’s match unbeaten in their last eight matches at home, their lone loss at home was the home opener against the New York Red Bulls.

The Dynamo return to PNC Stadium on Saturday, July 23 to host Minnesota United FC. The first 2,500 fans will get a plush Diesel Shoulder Buddy courtesy of Heriberto Ramos. The shoulder buddy has a magnetic tab you can slip under your shirt to allow Dynamo Diesel to perch on your shoulder all game long. For tickets and additional information visit HoustonDynamoFC.com.
