Houston Dynamo FC secured the top spot in the Western Conference of Major League Soccer after a 1-0 victory over the LA Galaxy on Saturday night at Shell Energy Stadium. With a sold-out crowd of 21,063, the Dynamo's Brazilian Designated Player signing, Guilherme, scored his fourth goal in four games by converting a penalty in the 21st minute.
This win marked the team's fourth consecutive victory, all achieved through clean sheets. The victory propelled the Dynamo to 35 points (11W-6L-2D) and the top of the conference standings. Assistant coach Juan Guerra, who took charge due to head coach Ben Olsen's suspension, acknowledged their good form but emphasized the need to improve.
Goalkeeper Jonathan Bond, who didn't face any shots, extended his streak of four clean sheets in a row, becoming the first goalkeeper in Dynamo history to achieve that feat. The Dynamo will face Vancouver Whitecaps FC in a Western Conference top-three battle on Wednesday, with the outcome crucial for their playoff hopes.
