Texas rivals Houston, Dallas battle to 3rd draw of season
Soccer Betting Lines
06/26/2008 -
Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - For the third time this season Texas rivals FC Dallas and the Houston Dynamo squared off for a Major League Soccer fixture,
and for the third time this season the match ended in draw.
The latest deadlock happened Thursday night as the two Western Conference
rivals battled to a 1-1 draw at Robertson Stadium after Houston forward Brian
Ching and Dallas forward Kenny Cooper scored on opposite sides of the half for
their respective teams.
The latest draw, the last regular season meeting between the teams this
season, comes after they played to a 3-3 draw on April 6, and a 2-2 draw on
May 28.
The Dynamo (4-4-6) dominated the first half, out-shooting Dallas 6-1. Dallas
didn't even get a shot off until the 32nd minute when Arturo Alvarez fired at
Pat Onstad.
Houston got the only goal of the first half when defender Craig Waibel lofted
a cross into the Dallas penalty area from the right sideline to Ching, who was
unmarked. The U.S. international made no mistake, heading the chance past
goalkeeper Dario Sala for his sixth goal of the season.
Dallas (4-6-4) made an adjustment heading into the second half, replacing
defender Aaron Pitchkolan with attacker Dominic Oduro. Hoops coach Schellas
Hyndman decided that after the lackluster first half he would switch from his
preferred four-man backline to the three-man backline that the team had played
all year before he arrived last week.
The move paid off as Dallas played much better in the second half, out-
shooting the hosts while generating the equalizing goal.
Cooper earned his team-leading eighth goal of the season when Juan Toja served
a cross from the left side to the unmarked forward, who headed past Onstad.
Houston will aim to get back in the win column when it travels to Utah to take
on Real Salt lake next Thursday while the Hoops host Kansas City a day later in
its next league fixture.
