HOUSTON – Houston Dynamo FC close the regular season against the LA Galaxy on Sunday at PNC Stadium. The Club will celebrate Fan Appreciation Day, presented by Coushatta Casino Resort, and festivities include a Mariachi Battle at the Hold It Down Plaza during pregame. The winner of the battle will perform at halftime. Additionally, the first 5,000 fans in attendance will receive a Hector Herrera bobblehead.
The Dynamo look to close the regular season with three points and return to PNC Stadium after winning their final road game of the year.

That was Houston’s fourth road victory of the season, the highest mark for the team since the 2013 season. Houston limited MVP frontrunner Hany Mukhtar to three shots on Sunday and the only threat came off a shot that bounced off the crossbar and eventually cleared by captain Tim Parker. The Dynamo backline combined for 21 clearances and eight interceptions.
