Two quick goals, then a reply

San Diego FC needed only three minutes to go up 2-0 on the Houston Dynamo on Wednesday. Anders Dreyer scored from the penalty spot in the 20th minute, and Cédric Bakambu followed with a shot from outside the box in the 22nd.

Houston cut the lead to 2-1 almost at once, with Guilherme scoring in the 24th minute off a Lawrence Ennali pass. Mateusz Bogusz made it 2-2 in the 33rd, and Guilherme put the Dynamo in front with a volley in the 37th. Houston took a 3-2 lead into halftime.

San Diego finds the tying goal

The home side pressed through the second half and had 61 percent possession overall. Gabriel Pirani scored from close range after a corner in the 86th minute to tie it 3-3.

Guilherme led Houston with two goals, an assist and four shots. Bakambu took three shots for San Diego. Houston goalkeeper Jonathan Bond made three saves, and Houston scored on all three of its shots on target.

The result leaves Houston with 46 points (13 wins, 7 draws, 9 losses) and San Diego with 33. Houston hosts FC Dallas on Saturday.
