Draw vs. Red Bull NY

Dynamo went to New York to square off versus the Energy Drinks. Things started badly when Onstad crashed into JP Peguero in the second minute and allowed the Haitian to score. Minutes later, the woodwork saved Dynamo from a 2-0 deficit.

Ricardo Clark leveled things in the 19th minute with a 35 yard rocket that appeared to benefit from a ricochet. Even better: the assist went to Ronald Cerritos who had slotted the square pass to Clark. The second half looked like it was all Dynamo. Moreno had a nice cross that DeRo should have finished, and DeRo should have finished two more. Missing three opportunities is definitely not the norm for DeRo.

With its second half play, Dynamo should have left with a win, but a point is never a bad thing in a new stadium on the road, particularly when DeRo's mojo is off.

And an assist and near-assist for our two forwards? It's nice to see them back in the game.

Next week: ReAL returns to H-town. Dynamo better pick up its three points; this is an opportunity to gain ground on the Hoops, who are off this week.
