Houston Dynamo FCvsSporting Kansas City
HOU 2/SKC 0
Things to say
Houston Dynamo beat Sporting Kansas City 2-0 on the road at Children's Mercy Park.
01
opener
Houston went into Kansas City and took care of business, 2-nil. Never really in doubt. SKC just couldn't put anything on frame.
02
key player
Héctor Herrera ran the whole thing, 104 accurate passes. Dude was the metronome, Houston played through him all night.
03
hot take
Sporting KC are cooked. Four wins all season and twelve losses? That's a rebuild whether they admit it or not.
04
deep cut
SKC managed one shot total from Calvin Harris the whole match. One. That's a clean sheet Jonathan Bond barely had to work for.
05
exit
Houston's quietly climbing the table now, 9-2-6. Curious to see if they keep it rolling next week.
The recap
Houston went into Children's Mercy Park and walked out with a clean 2-0, and honestly it was never really in doubt. Héctor Herrera ran the show in midfield with a ridiculous 104 accurate passes, dictating everything while Sporting KC barely mustered a whimper going forward.
Keeper Jonathan Bond had to make four saves to preserve the clean sheet, so it wasn't a total cakewalk, but the Dynamo controlled it. For Kansas City, sitting at 4-2-12, this is just more of the same miserable season.
