The <a href="https://www.bayoucitysoccer.net/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Houston Dynamo</a> fell 2-0 securing Sporting KC their first shutout of the year, one that was assisted by a Hector Herrera red card. Now can they do it with all 11 guys on the opposing team staying on the field? They have eight games to find out.</p><p>Andre Luiz once again stole the show. He got the game winning goal and provided an assist to Calvin Harris for an insurance goal before the Dynamo self-destructed before halftime. Despite the lead and being up a man, it was quite debatable who played better in the second half. Houston definitely saw more of the ball and took more shots.</p><p>Sheena and I discuss all of that, plus takes on Ben Olsen and his attire and other off topic nonsense you come to For the Glory KC for (or press fast forward during).</p><p>The win kept Sporting KC on pace with <a href="https://x.com/TBIRMontreal" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CF Montreal</a>, who also won.
