Guilherme & Houston Dynamo out to prove contender status

Guilherme and the Houston Dynamo are looking to solidify their status as one of the top contenders in Major League Soccer. The Brazilian Designated Player has been in sensational form this season for the Dynamo, netting four goals and providing two assists in his last four games. His impressive play has propelled Houston to the top of the Western Conference for the first time since 2017, before Vancouver reclaimed the top spot.

With the Dynamo facing Vancouver on Wednesday at BC Place, the winner will clinch first place in the West. Head coach Ben Olsen has lauded Guilherme's exceptional skills, stating that he is one of the best players in the league. With 12 goals and 7 assists through 19 league matches, Guilherme ranks third in goal contributions across the entire league.

The Dynamo have been unbeaten in eight games across all competitions, making them the hottest team in MLS. As they approach this crucial match against Vancouver, Olsen emphasizes the importance of maintaining focus and pushing for improvement, as there is still a long season ahead.
