Houston Dynamo 2-1 Real Salt Lake result, stats and report

Seattle Sounders ended a wretched run of draws with a composed 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake, who arrived in poor form and left with nothing to show for twelve shots and zero desire to compete when it mattered.

Vancouver Whitecaps produced a commanding performance in Salt Lake City, winning 3-0 with goals from Brian White, Thomas Müller, and Yadaly Diaby to pile further misery on a Real Salt Lake side that has now gone ten matches without a win in MLS.

Houston Dynamo led twice but could not hold on as Cincinnati's Kévin Denkey converted a stoppage-time penalty to earn a 2-2 draw in MLS. A gutless defensive display from the home side let Cincinnati off the hook despite being massively outshot.

Daniel Munie's first-half strike proved enough for SJ Earthquakes to beat Houston Dynamo 1-0, with the Earthquakes goalkeeper making six saves to protect a clean sheet the statistics barely justify.

Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake arrive at this Sunday fixture with a combined zero away wins and one home win between them across their last five matches each. Someone has to take three points. Neither side looks capable of it.

Houston Dynamo have won once in their last five MLS matches and Dallas cannot keep a clean sheet to save their lives. Something has to give in this Texas derby.

San Diego have shipped ten goals in their last five matches and are running out of road. Houston Dynamo arrive having kept seven clean sheets in their last ten. Something has to give.

Real Salt Lake have not won in ten MLS matches and have conceded twenty goals in that run. SJ Earthquakes arrive with a bit of momentum, but their own defensive record makes this a contest built on who wants it more.
