Loons Look for Three Points Against DynamoWhen the two teams last met in April, Minnesota mounted a second-half comeback to erase a two-goal deficit and secure a draw against Houston. Now the Loons are looking for all three points and back to their winning ways at home. After a hot start, the Dynamo have cooled down a bit in recent weeks, with one win in their last five. Despite this, Houston still sits third in the West, just four points off leaders Sporting KC. With several players out due to international duty and injury, MNUFC welcomes the addition of three players into its ranks since its last league match in early July. The Loons will need to control the match from the start if they hope to contain one of the most dangerous offenses in the league.

Loons and Los Zorros Settle for 1-1 DrawMinnesota United hosted Atlas FC of Liga MX for an international friendly match on Saturday night. Despite the friendly billing, the teams were quite aggressive from the first whistle, racking up six yellow cards in the opening half. Minnesota opened up the match with a strong attack, led by winger Bashkim Kadrii. After hitting the post early, Kadrii got the Loons on the board by chipping the ball over the goalkeeper outside of the box before finishing it off with an acrobatic kick. Atlas would answer five minutes before halftime, with a pair of quick crosses setting up a Milton Caraglio header. MNUFC would have the majority of shots on goal, but many of them were off the woodwork, including a double-post shot by Joe Greenspan.

2015 MINNESOTA UNITED FC GOAL MAPM I N N E S O TA U N I T E D N E W S A N D N O T E S

Winger Sam Nicholson Signs with MNUFCMNUFC made its first signing of the summer with the addition of Sam Nicholson. The 22-year-old midfielder and Scotland native comes to Minnesota after four years with Heart of Midlothian in the Scottish Premiership.

“We are really pleased to have added a player with the skillset of Sam [Nicholson],” said MNUFC Head Coach Adrian Heath. “He’s a player who can cut inside from either side of the pitch. He’s got two really good feet and he’s got some goals in him, he can beat his man. It’s not very often that you get the opportunity to bring in a player from Europe who looks at MLS as a step up. We are delighted to have him and we think he will be a great addition to our squad.”

Nicholson came up through Hearts’ youth academy, joining the senior team at the beginning of the 2013–14 season. He played a major role in helping the club earn promotion to the Premiership the following year, scoring a career-high five goals along with six assists during the season. This past season, Nicholson made his 100th appearance for Hearts as the club finished fifth in the Premiership, one spot out of European play.

He has had numerous call-ups to Scotland’s youth national teams and took part in the U21 squad’s European Championship qualification campaign.

New Zealand International Michael Boxall Signs with LoonsMinnesota United has expanded its defensive ranks with the signing of New Zealand international defender Michael Boxall. He brings MLS and international experience to MNUFC, including recent action with New Zealand in the FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia.

Boxall, who plays primarily at right back, joins the Loons after two seasons with SuperSport United in the South African Premier Division. His flexibility along the back line — where he can also play center back — will add experience and positional depth to the squad.

“Excited to be here, I had heard a lot of positive things about the coaching staff here and that got me excited to join the club,” said Boxall. “Being involved in something from the very start and the opportunity to build something special here meant a lot. I’m very excited to get to know my teammates, the coaching staff and all the fans here in Minnesota.”

He began his career in his home country with Auckland City FC, but later came to the U.S. to attend UC Santa Barbara where he played four seasons for the Gauchos. He would go on to be named to the All-Big West First Team in 2009 and win the 2010 Big West Defender of the Year award.

Boxall was selected first overall in the 2011 MLS Supplemental Draft by Vancouver Whitecaps FC ahead of its inaugural MLS season. In 2012, Boxall joined Wellington Phoenix in the Australian A-League, before signing with SuperSport United the following season.

At the international level, Boxall has 25 appearances for the New Zealand men’s national team, making his debut in 2011. He has mainly played in international friendlies, but in recent years has become a mainstay in World Cup qualifying matches as well. He got his first international assist last year against the United States, tying the match at 1-1 late in the second half.

Brandon Allen Loaned to MNUFC from Red BullsMinnesota United has added U.S. youth international forward Brandon Allen to its MLS roster. He comes to MNUFC on loan from New York Red Bulls. Allen has spent much of his career with New York Red Bulls II in USL.

Allen came up through the Red Bulls Academy and was a standout player in college, starting all four years at Georgetown. While at Georgetown, he racked up 50 goals and 17 assists in 91 appearances, making him the highest-scoring player in school history. He was a three-time All-American, three-time All-Big East first team member, and was nominated for the MAC Hermann Trophy in 2015 when he helped the Hoyas to the Big East regular season and playoff championships. He also has six caps and one goal for the U.S. U20 team.

He signed a Homegrown Player contract with the Red Bulls in December 2015 and made his MLS debut in May of the 2016 season. He mainly played for the club’s USL affiliate, Red Bulls II. He played 32 matches for the team in 2016, scoring 21 goals en route to winning the Eastern Conference title, Commissioner’s Cup and USL Championship. Allen would earn multiple accolades that season including USL Cup MVP, Rookie of the Year and being named to the All-League First Team.

MNUFC Hosts Unified Soccer ExchangeSpecial Olympics athletes from Minnesota and Texas are gathering in the Twin Cities this week as Minnesota United Unified hosts Houston Dynamo Unified for a soccer match at TCF Bank Stadium. The two teams will square off following the match between the two clubs’ first teams on Wednesday, July 19 at 7:00 p.m. Fans are encouraged to stay and cheer on the Unified teams, composed of athletes both with and without intellectual disabilities. Their match is expected to kick off at 9:30 p.m.

Their match on Wednesday night is a part of the MLS Works partnership with Special Olympics, and the teams will meet again when Minnesota United travels to face Houston on Saturday, September 30 at BBVA Compass Stadium. This is the first year MNUFC will host a Unified match and the team’s first formal partnership with Special Olympics Minnesota.

Adrian Heath Looks Ahead to Houston“They’re obviously a really confident team, because their season has been very, very good at home. Not so good on the road. I think we’re one of the few teams that have taken any points off them on the road. We’ve got to make sure that we take advantage of the fact that maybe two or three of their better attacking players are not playing. We’re also missing two or three players as well, so it swings around about you. You know, you win on one end, you lose on another. But I’ve made no secret that I think the next three games are pivotal for us.”

Heath Goals for the Squad in Upcoming Home Matches“I think the most important thing is that the chemistry within the group, and the patterns of play, and the combination play in certain areas is getting better. I think it’s one of the areas that — I’ve said before — on the days that we play well in the middle of the park and our combination play, we look like we can open teams up. And looking to this next half of the season, to really enhance that and get that better and better as the season develops.”

Minnesota United FC plays in North America’s top professional soccer league, Major League Soccer (MLS). The league features 22 teams from across the United States and Canada.

After a successful bid to host the World Cup in 1994, the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) founded MLS to bring a top level soccer league back to the country for the first time since 1984, when the original NASL folded. The league was set to begin play in 1996 with ten teams: Colorado Rapids, Columbus Crew (SC), D.C. United, Dallas Burn (FC Dallas), Kansas City Wiz (Sporting Kansas City), Los Angeles Galaxy, New England Revolution, NY/NJ MetroStars (New York Red Bulls), San Jose Clash (Earthquakes) and Tampa Bay Mutiny.

The league’s first match was played on April 6, 1996 as the San Jose Clash played D.C. United if front of 31,000 fans at Spartan Stadium. The league drew large crowds in its opening season, pulling star power from around North America and building on the excitement of the 1994 FIFA World Cup.

As MLS has continued to grow, clubs have begun moving out of shared American football venues and into soccer-specific stadium, led by the Columbus Crew (SC) who moved into the soccer-specific MAPFRE Stadium in 1999. Currently, 14 teams play in soccer-specific venues.

The league is split into the Eastern and Western Conferences. Each team plays 34 matches during the season. Teams play all conference opponents twice, once at home and once on the road, and each team in the other conference once, with an even balance of home and away matches. The remainder of the schedule is filled with matches against conference opponents. The top six teams in each conference at the end of the year qualifying for the MLS Cup Playoffs.

The postseason begins with the third through sixth seeds in each conference playing in a knockout round. The winners advance to the conference semifinals to play the first and second seeds in the conference. In this round, the format switches to a two-match aggregate series, with the team scoring the most goals over the series moving on. The same format is used for the conference finals. The winner of the conference final moves on to face the other conference champion in the MLS Cup Final. The final is a single match, hosted by the team with the best record in the regular season, with the winner being declared MLS Cup Champion.

The Venezuelan arrived to the Loons from Sporting Kansas City, and has played five seasons in MLS. Añor came to Minnesota in 2016 on a season-long loan during preseason training.

Whether playing at left back or at center back, Calvo does well to stretch the pitch and create an imbalance in the attack. At just 24 years old, he has potential to be a familiar name in Minnesota for years to come. He does well with teams that possess the ball, but is athletic enough to push up the pitch and stay with his marks when under pressure. Calvo has 17 total appearances with the Costa Rica national team and four with the U20 squad, scoring two goals.

The Norway international has had a successful career playing in Europe’s top leagues, as well as on the international stage. The 30-year-old is a strong option at central defense and is not afraid to throw his weight around to disrupt opponents.

A young, creative midfielder, Martin is poised to make an impact in 2017 after not finding much success in D.C. with whom he signed a Homegrown Player contract in 2013. The midfielder was the only high school junior to train with the U.S. men’s U20 squad in January 2012, having previously represented the United States at the U14, U15 and U17 levels.

Ibson first signed with the Loons in 2015. In his past seasons with MNUFC, he has proven an exceptional possession player with unmatched control in tight spaces. His ability to beat defenders and technical footwork helps open up space for teammates and create chances further down the pitch. Ibson’s distribution has been a critical part of MNUFC’s quick attacking play, providing eight assists in two seasons with Minnesota United.

Ibarra returned to Minnesota after two years with Club Leon in Liga MX. He earned several accolades during his earlier tenure with the Loons, including a pair of NASL Best XI appearances and a Golden Ball Award (MVP), and was the first U.S. lower-division player to be called up to the U.S. men’s national team since 2005. Ibarra received four consecutive international call-ups, making three appearances. He first signed with Minnesota in 2012 and was transferred to Leon in 2015.

The 25-year-old came to the Loons after playing in the top leagues of both Finland and Sweden and is an active member of the Finland national team. Though he mainly plays in a more defensive role in the midfield, he is not afraid to make a foray into the opposing penalty area. He has a deft touch that has allowed him to net several spectacular goals in his career so far.

# 2 2 B O B B Y S H U T T L E W O R T H | G O A L K E E P E RHeight: 6’2” Weight: 205 Birthdate: 5/13/1987 (30) Hometown: Tonawanda, New YorkPrevious Club: New England Revolution Acquired: Trade 2/15/2017

Shuttleworth, 29, spent eight seasons with the Revolution from 2009–2016 and totaled 127 appearances, 124 starts, 34 shutouts, 344 saves, and a 46-53-28 regular-season record with New England. The Tonawanda, N.Y. native anchored the Revolution during its run to the 2014 MLS Cup, a season in which he tied a club record with 16 wins, and also totaled six postseason starts during the 2014 and 2015 campaigns.

Ramirez proved to be one of the most valuable players on the Loons’ roster during his NASL career. He made 92 consecutive appearances across all competitions for Minnesota, missing just one match due to injury in the 2016 season. His consistent contributions to Minnesota United’s success earned him three-straight NASL Best XI awards. He is one of just three players to accomplish that feat, another being teammate Justin Davis.

Molino was a huge part of Orlando’s offense, and was the first Major League Soccer signing in their club history. He is a strong player on the wing that can dribble through defenders and create opportunities in front of goal. The Trinidad and Tobago international has worked closely with Minnesota Head Coach Adrian Heath during his career, having played under the Loons’ manager from 2011 through 2016 in Orlando.

# 2 8 S A M N I C H O L S O N | M I D F I E L D E RHeight: 5’9” Weight: 157 Birthdate: 1/20/1995 (22) Hometown: Edinburgh, ScotlandPrevious Club: Heart of Midlothian Acquired: Signed 7/10/2017

Nicholson came up through Hearts’ youth academy. He played a major role in helping the club earn promotion to the Premiership the following year, scoring a career high five goals along with six assists during the season. He played nearly every match in the club’s return to the Scottish top flight, guiding Hearts to a spot in the Europa League. He has had several call-ups to Scotland’s youth national teams and took part in the U21 squad’s European Championship qualification campaign.

# 2 4 P AT R I C K M C L A I N | G O A L K E E P E RHeight: 6’3” Weight: 205 Birthdate: 8/22/1988 (28) Hometown: Eau Claire, WisconsinPrevious Club: Orlando City SC Acquired: Trade 1/26/2017

McLain has been a bit of a journeyman in his career, getting a majority of his playing time in USL. The Eau Claire native played his college soccer with Cal Poly, where he earned all-conference honors and set a school record with his .835 save percentage. While in college, he featured for the Portland Timbers U23 team and Orange County Blue Star, where he played with current Loons teammates Christian Ramirez, Miguel Ibarra and Kevin Venegas.

Warner is a box-to-box midfielder who can cover ground and protect his attacking players. He brings great MLS experience to MNUFC. Drafted 15th overall by Real Salt Lake in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft, Warner appeared off and on with RSL before being taken by Montreal in the 2011 expansion draft. He became a full-time starter with Montreal for two years before being traded to Toronto FC, where he started all but one match his first year. He played his 2016 season with the Houston Dynamo.

# 2 2 K E V I N V E N E G A S | D E F E N D E RHeight: 5’10” Weight: 165 Birthdate: 7/29/1989 (27) Hometown: Lakewood, CaliforniaPrevious Club: Minnesota United FC Acquired: Signed 12/1/2016

Venegas has been a star player for Minnesota as both a midfielder and defender in his five years with the club. He has been a top playmaker with 17 career assists, and has found the back of the net himself seven times in NASL play. Venegas brings a special flair to the field, with a knack for beating defenders with incredible footwork. His box-to-box play as a right back earned him a spot in the 2015 NASL Best XI.

# 1 1 J O H A N V E N E G A S | M I D F I E L D E RHeight: 6’0” Weight: 168 Birthdate: 11/27/1988 (28) Hometown: Puerto Limón, Costa RicaPrevious Club: Montreal Impact Acquired: Trade 1/13/2016

Venegas often featured on the wing for Montreal, showing pace, flair and technique as one of the club’s most dangerous attacking players off the bench. He could become a central figure for Minnesota United in the club’s 2017 expansion season. The Costa Rica international has scored seven goals in 33 matches for his country since his senior debut in 2014. He shined in the Copa America Centenario and scored a match-winner against the U.S. in World Cup Qualifying.

# 3 J E R O M E T H I E S S O N | D E F E N D E RHeight: 5’9” Weight: 155 Birthdate: 8/6/1987 (29) Hometown: Zurich, SwitzerlandPrevious Club: FC Luzern Acquired: Signed 2/21/2017

The 29-year-old Swiss native spent the past six seasons in the Swiss Super League, scoring two goals in 222 matches with 204 starts in league play. In 10 cup matches with the club, he recorded one goal. Thiesson joined FC Luzern after spending four years with AC Bellinzona, a lower-division Swiss Super League club from the country’s Italian-speaking region. One of the main qualities Minnesota United prized in going after Thiesson was his ability to play either fullback position.

# 4 J E R M A I N E TA Y L O R | D E F E N D E RHeight: 5’10” Weight: 195 Birthdate: 1/14/1985 (32) Hometown: Portland, JamaicaPrevious Club: Portland Timbers Acquired: Signed 1/24/2017

The Jamaica international brings six years of MLS experience to the Loons as the club enters its inaugural MLS season. Taylor most recently played with the Portland Timbers in 2016, where he started in 21 of his 23 appearances. He is a stalwart defender who is not afraid to lay into his opponents. Although he stands at just 5’10”, he compensates with pure tenacity and athleticism. Taylor has made over 80 appearances for Jamaica since first being called up in 2004.

Heath was appointed head coach in November 2016. After playing over 18 years in Europe, Heath spent the next 11 years coaching in England for clubs such as Burnley, Sheffield United and Coventry City before coming to the United States in 2008. The Englishman was named head coach of the USL expansion side Austin Aztex. The team spent two years in Austin before relocating to Orlando in 2010, to become Orlando City. In just four years under Heath, Orlando City won two USL Pro championships and three Commissioner’s Cups. The club joined MLS in 2015, and Heath’s influence helped build the team for a very successful inaugural season, narrowly missing out on the playoffs.

He was a player-coach with Orlando, helping the team to multiple titles in USL during his five years with the Lions. Fuller is a Portland native, and first met Heath when he joined Heath’s Austin Aztex in 2010. He was promoted to player-assistant coach for the club’s USL journey and then was tapped to join the coaching staff full time as an assistant coach when Orlando joined MLS.

United. Additionally, Watson managed the San Jose Earthquakes before joining Orlando City as an assistant under Heath in 2014. During his tenure at San Jose, Watson helped guide the team to a playoff berth in 2010 and the club’s second Supporters’ Shield in 2012. He was named interim head coach in June 2013 and closed the season with the best record in MLS at 11-5-3. In addition to his MLS experience, Watson previously served as assistant coach with the Canada Men’s National U20 and senior teams, as well as several years as an assistant with the USL PRO Charleston Battery.

HOUSTON DYNAMO (8-7-4; 28 pts.) at MINNESOTA UNITED FC (5-11-3; 18 pts.)Wednesday, July 19, 2017 · 7:00 p.m. CDT · TCF Bank Stadium · Minneapolis, Minn.

DYNAMO RETURN TO ACTION WITH FIRST TRIP TO MINNESOTA

Coming off of a two-week break for the opening round of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the Houston Dynamo hit the road, making their first-ever trip to Minneapolis to take on Minnesota United FC on Wednesday night. The Dynamo will be without four regulars who are representing their countries in the Gold Cup - forwards Alberth Elis and Romell Quioto and midfielder Boniek Garcia for Honduras and forward Erick Torres for Mexico - but based on their last result before the break, that shouldn't slow down Houston's scoring attack.

Without the three Hondurans, the Dynamo still burst out to a three-goal lead over the Montreal Impact through strikes from forward Andrew Wenger, midfielder Alex and midfielder Memo Rodriguez. For the 20-year-old Rodriguez, an alumnus of the Dynamo Academy, it was his first career MLS regular-season goal.

Minnesota will be without a trio of Gold Cup representatives on their own. Captain Francisco Calvo and mid-fielder Johan Venegas will represent Costa Rica against Panama on Wednesday night while former Dynamo defender Jermaine Taylor and Jamaica will face off with Canada on Thursday.

Wednesday's match will be the second of three this year between the Dynamo and the Loons. The first-ever meeting between the clubs ended in a 2-2 draw at BBVA Compass Stadium on April 15. Houston jumped out to a 2-0 halftime lead, but a 15-minute stretch to start the second half saw Minnesota strike twice to level the score. Despite pushing furiously for the game-winner, Houston was unable to break the deadlock and settled for a single point. Revenge for the Dynamo could come in the form of their first road victory of the season, snapping a 0-7-2 mark away from home.

The Dynamo are tied for fourth in the league with 34 goals scored, but only six have come on the road. Minnesota have conceded the most goals in the league (42), but have been far stingier at home, allowing 10 fewer goals than on the road. The test for Wenger, Rodriguez, Alex and co. will be to translate their torrid home scoring form to a new venue.

Defensively, the Dynamo must deal with the threat of Loons forward Christian Ramirez, who is tied for fourth in the league with 10 goals thus far this season.

Wednesday is also the first of two away games in the span of four days for the Orange. Following this game, they travel directly to our nation's capitol to face D.C. United on Saturday night.

HEAD COACH COMPARISON

HOUSTON DYNAMO HEAD COACH WILMER CABRERA

Wilmer Cabrera was named head coach of the Houston Dynamo on Octo-ber 28, 2016. Cabrera was previously the first head coach the Rio Grande Valley FC Toros, the Dynamo's hybrid USL affiliate. He also served time as a head coach and assistant coach in Major League Soccer and head coach of the United States Under-17 Boys National Team.

A native of Colombia, Cabrera is bilingual in English and Spanish and was the first Latin American head coach at the helm of a U.S. national team. He served as head coach of the United States Under-17 Boys National Team from October 2007 to January 2012 and compiled a 36-29-15 record, guid-ing the U.S. U-17s through two U-17 World Cup qualifying cycles ahead of the 2009 and 2011 FIFA U-17 FIFA World Cups, including progression to the Round of 16 at both tournaments. Cabrera also led his squad to a first-place finish at the 2011 CONCACAF U-17 Championship.

Cabrera began his MLS coaching career as assistant under current FC Dallas head coach Oscar Pareja for two seasons with the Colorado Rapids (2012-13) before he was head coach of Chivas USA in 2014, the club’s final season in MLS.

As the first head coach of Rio Grande Valley FC, Cabrera guided the expan-sion club to a record of 14-7-9 and second-place finish in the USL’s Western Conference. RGV FC had the best goal difference – plus 23 – in the Western Conference, and allowed just 24 goals, second-fewest in the 29-team USL, and fewest in the West. The Toros also led the conference with 16 shutouts and set a USL-record with a streak of 760 minutes without conceding a goal in July and August.

As a player, the former defender made 48 appearances for the Colombia National Team, including three starts at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, inclusion on the roster at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, and a role at four Copa America tournaments (1989, ’91, ’95 and ’97). His 20-year professional playing ca-reer began at age 17 with Independiente Sante Fe in Colombia and includ-ed spells in Argentina and Costa Rica before a final stop in the United States with the Long Island Rough Riders.

Cabrera’s career in youth development began as an assistant coach with Suffolk (New York) Community College followed by a stint as coach with the BW Gottschee Academy in New York City.

MINNESOTA UNITED FC HEAD COACHADRIAN HEATH

Minnesota United announced in November, 2016 that Adrian Heath will be the club’s coach for the 2017 Major League Soccer season. Heath was most recently head coach of Orlando City and has over 20 years of managerial experience in the U.S. and England.

Hailing from Staffordshire, England, Heath enjoyed an 18 year profession-al soccer career before entering into coaching. The midfielder’s journey began with Stoke City and included a notable career at Everton where he scored 71 goals in 226 appearances, winning two league titles, an FA Cup as well as a UEFA Cup Winner’s Cup in 1985. In 1989 Heath went on to play for Espanyol in Spain, then returned to England to play for Manchester City, and Burnley – where he eventually transitioned into the role of play-er-manager in 1996.

The Englishman spent the next eleven years coaching in England for clubs such as Burnley, Sheffield United, and Coventry City, before a chance en-counter with Phil Rawlins brought him to the United States in 2008.

Rawlins, the former Stoke City director, met with Heath in his hometown of Newcastle-under-Lyme, where the two discussed Rawlins’ dream of setting up a football club in the U.S., and – serendipitously for Heath – Rawlins needed a manager.

Heath accepted the role and was named the head coach of the Austin Az-tex, Rawlins’ USL expansion franchise. The team spent two years in Austin, before relocating to Orlando in 2010, becoming Orlando City.

In just four years under Heath in its new city, Orlando City won two USL Pro championships, and three Commissioner’s Cups. The USL club under Heath also tallied two U.S. Open Cup victories over MLS opposition.

Orlando City launched into Major League Soccer in 2015, and Heath’s in-fluence helped build the club for a very successful inaugural MLS season. The club finished seventh in the Eastern Conference, falling just short of clinching a berth into the 2015 MLS playoffs.

THE LAST TIME THEY MET

HOUSTON (Saturday, April 15, 2017) – The Houston Dynamo remained unbeaten at BBVA Compass Stadium this season with a 2-2 draw against Minnesota United FC tonight in front of 16,125 fans. The Dynamo struck for two first-half goals before Minnesota rallied in the second stanza to equalize the match.

The Dynamo offense came out strong, pressing the Loons’ defense from the opening whistle. In the 14th minute, a low cross from FW Erick Torres found FW Mauro Manotas in the middle of box. Manotas acted quickly and sent a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner, scoring his first goal of the season.

As the first half was coming to an end, the Dynamo extended the lead when DF Boniek García executed a free kick outside the 18 yard box, FW Alberth Elis found the ball and blasted a right-footed shot from a close range to the bottom left corner.

The Loons quickly cut into the Dynamo lead after halftime. In the 47th min-ute, MF Kevin Molino sent a corner kick to the middle of box that found FW Christian Ramirez at a close range from the goal. Ramirez headed the ball into the top right corner of the goal.

In the 59th minute, Molino dribbled the ball down the right side and at-tempted a cross, his cross was deflected by DF Adolfo Machado. FW Johan Venegas found the ball in the middle of the box and his left-footed shot found the top of the left corner to tie the game 2-2.

The Dynamo nearly pulled out the full three points in the 82nd minute when FW Romell Quioto, making his return to action after missing two games with a separated shoulder, found Torres behind the Minnesota de-fense. Torres got to the end of Quioto’s cross at the six-yard box, but his flicked shot with the outside of his boot trickled just wide of the far post.

Two minutes later, Torres again came close as DF Kevin Garcia, making his Major League Soccer debut, worked his way up the right flank and found the striker six yards from goal, but Torres’ shot sailed over the crossbar.

The Dynamo will continue the 2017 season, presented by 76, on Saturday, April 22 at 3:00 p.m. CDT against San Jose Earthquakes at BBVA Compass Stadium.

DYNAMO SIGN YOUNG DP

The Houston Dynamo have signed Argentinean midfielder TomásMartínezas a Young Designated Player, the club announced today. Martínez will the Dynamo on a full transfer from Sporting Clube de Braga in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and P-1 Visa. Martínez, 22, joins Mexican forward Erick Torres (24) and Honduran for-ward Alberth Elis (21) as the third Designated Player (DP) on the Dynamo roster. The three players have an average age of 22.3 years old, giving the Dynamo one of the youngest DP triumvirates in Major League Soccer.

“Tomás Martínez is a player who we’ve tracked for quite some time, and after a lengthy process we’re pleased to welcome him to the Houston Dy-namo,” said Dynamo Vice President and General Manager MattJordan. “At just 22 years old, he’s a young and very talented midfielder whose profile will add quality and creativity to our team. Tomás is eager to be a part of our club and contribute to the success of our team moving forward.” A native of Béccar, Argentina, Martínez joined the youth academy at leg-endary Argentinian club River Plate at age six. He made his professional debut with River Plate on April 24, 2013 at 18 years of age when he came in as substitute for current FC Dallas midfielder Mauro Diaz against Estudi-antes Buenos Aires.

“Tomás is a player that is hungry to play, that has a wonderful background playing for River Plate in Argentina and playing at the U-20 level with the national team in Argentina,” said Dynamo Head Coach Wilmer Cabrera. “He has a lot of tools, a lot of expectations and he is hungry to consolidate himself as a player. His youth is going to be very good for the team and he is going to bring a good, fresh mentality to work in.”

Martínez has also represented his home country at the international level in multiple youth tournaments. Wearing the No. 10 shirt for Los Albice-lestes, he played an integral role for Argentina’s Under-20 team as they won the 2015 South American Youth Football Championship and earned a spot in the 2015 U-20 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Sumer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Martínez played in 10 games for the Argentinian U-20s, starting all 10, and scored one goal while providing five assists. In the 2015 South American U-20 Championship, he started seven of Argentina’s nine games and pro-vided a goal and four assists. He started all three of Los Albicelestes’ match-es in the 2015 U-20 World Cup in New Zealand and delivered one assist.

Martínez moved to Sporting Braga in the Portuguese Primeira Liga on a full transfer prior to the start of the 2016-17 season and made 15 appearances across all competitions for the club and scored three goals and had one assist. During his time with River Plate, Martínez won the 2013-14 Copa Sudamer-icana, the club’s first international title in 17 years. Martínez made 18 ap-pearances with four assists for River from 2013-16, while also spending time on loan spells with Spanish club Tenerife from 2015-16 and Argen-tina’s Defensa y Justica in 2016. He made 13 appearances with one assist for Tenerife and appeared 14 times with three goals and two assists for Defensa y Justica.

A SPECIAL GAME FOR SPECIAL ATHLETES

The Houston Dynamo and Special Olympics Texas have once again worked together to create the Houston Dynamo Unified Team, presented by 76®.

The Dynamo Unified Team will travel to Minneapolis on Tuesday to play their first-ever away game on Wednesday night following the Dynamo first team's game at Minnesota United FC.

Dedicated to promoting social inclusion through shared sports training and competition experiences, Unified teams join people with and without intel-lectual disabilities on the same team. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding. Teams are made up of people of similar age and ability, which makes practices more fun and games more challenging and exciting for all. Having sport in common is just one more way that preconceptions and false ideas are swept away.

The team practices every Wednesday from 6:30-8:30pm at 2700 E. Pasa-dena Blvd in Deer Park. Once a month, the team hosts a special practice at Houston Sports Park, during which time Houston Dynamo and Houston Dash players and coaches will help the athletes perfect their skills.

The Dynamo Unified and Minnesota Unified Teams will play one another again on Saturday, Sept. 30 in Houston. The Dynamo Unified Team will also have the opportunity to play the Colorado Rapids Unified team on Satur-day, Sept. 9 in Houston. These matches are free and open to the public, and fans are encouraged to come out and support both teams.

This is the second year that the Dynamo and Special Olympics Texas joined together as part of a larger partnership with MLS WORKS, Major League Soccer’s community outreach initiative, and Special Olympics North Amer-ica. The Dynamo and Special Olympics Texas are collaborating to leverage the power of sports to promote an environment of social inclusion and acceptance by uniting people with and without intellectual disabilities through Special Olympics Unified Sports.

The matches between these teams will showcase the Unified Sports ex-change program that is the cornerstone of the ongoing partnership be-tween MLS and Special Olympics North America. Through the Unified Sports soccer exchange program, Unified soccer teams from MLS cities travel to other MLS markets to receive training from MLS players and coaches, as well as compete in exhibition matches with their Special Olym-pics counterparts in that MLS market. Unified matches are scheduled in conjunction with MLS club matches.



PLAYING FROM AHEAD

The Houston Dynamo have made a habit of jumping out to early leads in 2017 and playing from ahead throughout the year. They have been in the lead nearly 43 percent the time this season, and have led by two or more goals for nearly 20 percent of the time they've been on the field.

Conversely, they have only spent 384 minutes playing from behind, and just 199 minutes trailing by multiple goals.

HOUSTON'S DYNAMIC ATTACK

The Dynamo are tied for fourth in the league with 34 goals on the year, four behind Atlanta United FC. Houston is one of only six clubs in MLS averaging better than 1.70 goals per game.

The 2017 Dynamo are on pace to score 61 goals this year, which would shatter the club record of 48 scored in 2012. The current edition of the Dynamo are averaging more than a quarter of a goal per game more than the best mark in club history.

THE ALL-IMPORTANT FIRST GOAL

The Houston Dynamo have been unbeatable at home this season, with an 8-0-2 record, but have struggled in equal measure away from home with a 0-7-2 mark outside of BBVA Compass Stadium.

One of the biggest differences has been the Dynamo's ability to jump out to early leads at home. In eight of Houston's 10 home games, the Dynamo have sccored inside of the first 20 minutes, whereas they've yet to find the net before the 20-minute mark on the road.

Furthermore, the Dynamo have scored first in nine of their 10 home games but have done so only once on the road. In those 10 games, they are 7-0-3, but are just 1-7-1 when failing to do so.

For a team like the Dynamo that has been at its best on the counterattack, the importance of nabbing the first goal cannot be underestimated. It forc-es the opposition to chase the game and opens them up even further for more dangerous Dynamo counters.

For Dynamo fans, getting in your seat early has never been more import-ant, as you may miss the most important moment of the game if you're 15 minutes late.

The Dynamo been simply dominant inside BBVA Compass Stadium this sea-son, posting an MLS-leading 8-0-1 record and outscoring their opponents by a margin of 28-9.

On the road, it's been the opposite story, as the Dynamo have gone 0-7-2 and have a league-worst minus-12 goal differential (6-20).

ELIS EQUALS EFFICIENCY

The Dynamo were widely praised in MLS circles for the acquisition of FW Alberth Elis during the winter transfer window, and through his first half-season in the league, the 21-year-old Honduran international has lived up to the billing.

Through 19 games, Elis has six goals and three assists in 908 minutes played. His average of 0.89 non-penalty goals plus assists per 90 minutes are third among all young players (age 25 or younger) in Major League Soc-cer. Teammate Romell Quioto ranks fifth and Mauro Manotas is 11th.

CLARK MOVING UP THE 300 CLUB

Houston Dynamo captain Ricardo Clark became just the 14th field player in the 21-year history of the league to start at least 300 regular-season games earlier this year; and he caught Chris Henderson (304) for 13th earlier this year vs. FC Dallas (6/23).

With 15 games remaining in the season, Clark has a chance to crack the Top 10 - and pass current Dynamo assistant coach Davy Arnaud - by year's end. He is nine starts away from catching MLS legend Landon Donovan (315) and 10 shy of Arnaud and current Colorado Rapids head coach Pablo Mas-troeni.

CABEZAS STRIKING THE RIGHT NOTES

When the Dynamo brought in Juan David Cabezas on loan from Colombian giants Deportivo Cali during the offseason, word on the 25-year-old mid-fielder was that he was expected to bring a ball-winning presence to the middle of the park for Houston. So far, he's been not only a ball winner, but also an adept distributor in possession.

Just past the midpoint of the season, Cabezas leads the club in tackles (53) and tackles won (45), while his 583 passes attempted this season rank sec-ond on the team and his 86.79 pass completion percentage is tops on the squad among players with at least 50 passes attempted.

ATTACKING THE CLUB SCORING CHART

Dynamo forward Erick "Cubo" Torres is not only off to the hottest start of his career, he's out to the best start by any goalscorer in Dynamo history. In addition to Torres, fellow forwards Alberth Elis, Mauro Manotas and Romell Quioto are also storming up the club single-season scoring charts.

With 12 goals through 19 team games, Torres is ahead of the pace set by every other player who reached double digits in Orange. However, so is Elis, who is averaging 0.59 goals per game. Quioto and Manotas are each hovering around half a goal per game, which would put them both on pace to threaten the existing scoring record by season's end as well.

TORRES NEARING CLUB RECORD

FW Erick "Cubo" Torres is second in Major Leauge Soccer with 12 goals through 18 games played this season, putting him out to the hottest start to a season in his young career.

He is just the fifth player in Dynamo history to reach double digits in a sea-son, and with his goal in last week's 3-1 loss at Colorado, he moved to with-in one of the club single-season record of 13, set by Brian Ching in 2008.

Torres' average of 0.80 goals per 90 minutes is the highest in Dynamo his-tory, and with 16 games left in the season, he has a chance to obliterate the old standard.

TORRES' GOLDEN FORM NETS CALL-UP

Dynamo forward Erick "Cubo" Torres is in the best form of his career this year, with 12 goals in 17 appearances. He's already within one goal of the club single-season scoring record set in 2008 by Brian Ching, and can put that mark, as well as his career high of 15 goals, in the rear-view mirror if he keeps it up.

That sensational form netted the 24-year-old a long-awaited call-up by the Mexican National Team for the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Torres has rep-resented his country on the international stage several times at the youth level, including at the 2016 Rio Olympics, but the Gold Cup will be his first senior international tournament.

Torres started and went 90 minutes in Mexico's 0-0 draw with Jamaica on Thursday, July 13. Mexico topped Group C with a 2-0-1 record and will en-ter the knockout round against Honduras in the Quarterfinals on Thursday, July 20 in Phoenix, Arizona.

Torres now has five caps for Mexico at the senior level with one goal - the game-winning strike in a friendly against Panama on Oct. 12, 2014.

DYNAMO AWARDS IN 2017

MACHADO CLEARS THE DANGER

Houston Dynamo defender Adolfo Machado was one of the club's mar-quee offseason additions when he signed on a transfer from Deportivo Saprissa. So important was he to Saprissa that the Costa Rican giant was forced to hold an emergency press conference when news leaked out in order to address their fans' displeasure.

Machado has quickly established himself as a force in the Dynamo back line, showcasing the leadership and physical presence that made him so popular at his former club. He is the only player on the team to have been on the field for every minute of the 2017 season to date. He's also shown himself to be one of the toughest center backs in MLS early on this season.

Through 18 weeks of league play, Machado leads the league in number of total clearances with 124. His 131 clearances are 20 more than the next closest player.

Among the top 25 players in clearances, Machado's 54 interceptions are also the most in the league, his 57 headed clearances are third-most and his 28 tackles won are the fourth-most.

ABOUT BBVA COMPASS STADIUM

BBVA Compass Stadium is a state-of-the-art, open-air stadium designed to host Houston Dynamo matches, Houston Dash matches and Tex-as Southern University football games as well as additional professional, collegiate and community sporting events, concerts, exhibitions, conventions and special events. Opened on May 12, 2012, the 340,000-square foot, 22,000-seat stadium is the first soccer-specific stadium in Major League Soccer located in a city’s downtown district.

An architecturally stunning building, the stadium features 94,000 square feet of aluminum panels on its exterior, giving it a modern and stylish appearance. Each of the panels is 50 percent open to improve air flow throughout the concourses. Canopies extend 75 feet over the stands on the east and west sides of the stadium, and a stage canopy extends 125 feet over the south end, providing shade to soccer fans and a built-in speaker setup for concerts. With its downtown location, the stadium is a part of a true ‘Stadium District,’ which includes Minute Maid Park and the Toyota Center, as well as the George R. Brown Convention Center, Discovery Green, Warehouse Live and House of Blues.

BBVA Compass Stadium was awarded the LEED® Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council in December 2012. The stadium has been identified as a pioneering example of new construction and sustainable design and is considered a leader in transforming the building industry.
