HOUSTON (AP) — Adam Moffat scored his first goal of the season in the 76th minute to give the Houston Dynamo a 2-1 win over FC Dallas on Saturday night.
Moffat converted a big rebound for Houston (5-4-4) after FC Dallas goalkeeper Kevin Hartman made a save on a corner kick by Brad Davis.
FC Dallas (3-9-4) is winless in its last 10 games and played the last 26 minutes with just 10 players after Jair Benitez was given a red card. Benitez hit Dynamo midfielder Colin Clark in the head.
That play started a minor scrum between both teams, but cooler heads prevailed.
Jackson Goncalves tied the game in the 59th minute when he put a rebound past Tally Hall after Scott Sealy’s initial shot caromed off Dynamo Houston defender Jermaine Taylor.
