August 26, 2022 – Major League Soccer (MLS) – Houston Dynamo FC News Release
HOUSTON – Houston Dynamo FC close a two-game road trip on Saturday when they face Minnesota United FC at Allianz Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:50 p.m. CDT and will air on TUDN and Univision. The Dynamo match is part of a doubleheader that concludes with Houston Dynamo 2 vs. MNUFC2 at 6 p.m. CDT, which will stream live on MLSNEXTPro.com.
The Dynamo look to split the two-game road trip after earning a 1-1 draw against the Colorado Rapids last Saturday. Forward Sebas Ferreira scored the equalizer moments before the final whistle and the Paraguayan international leads the team with nine goals scored this season. The play began outside the box once Daniel Steres laid the ball off for Ferreira. That was Steres first assist of the season, and the center back has now contributed to goals in back-to-back games for the team. The centerback scored the second goal of the evening for Houston in their last home game against Montreal on Aug. 13.
The Dynamo will host a watch party for Saturday’s game in collaboration with Dawn and the Houston Food Bank. The Houston Food Bank will host a volunteer drive alongside Saturday’s nationally televised match and fans are encouraged to join Dynamo staff members at the event. Fans interested in this event can register here while spots remain. Fans are encouraged to follow Dynamo Charities on Twitter to receive alerts for upcoming volunteer events in the community.
This is the second meeting of the season between both teams and the Dynamo aim to split the series after a 2-1 loss at home on July 23. Houston mounted a heavy offensive effort forcing three saves and finishing with 22 shots that evening. Fafa Picault found the back of the net in the 86th minute for his fourth goal of the campaign.
The Loons have won two of their last three games and enter the match in fourth place in the Western Conference. The team is led by 2022 MLS All-Star Emanuel Reynoso, who has scored 10 goals and leads the team with eight assists. Forward Luis Amarilla has found the back of the net eight times this season and the midfield duo of Franco Fragapane and Robin Lod combine for 12 goals.
The Dynamo face a quick turnaround as they host Carlos Vela, Gareth Bale and Los Angeles Football Club at PNC Stadium on Aug. 31.
