Ezequiel Ponce scored the lone goal in the 66th minute to give Houston Dynamo FC a 1-0 win over St. Louis CITY SC at Shell Energy Stadium, earning the team its eighth clean sheet of the season. The match also marked a milestone for Felipe Andrade, who recorded his first assist, and a farewell for MLS legend Nico Lodeiro, honored pregame in his final league appearance. Duane Holmes made his Dynamo starting debut, while goalkeeper Jonathan Bond and the Houston defense held firm to secure the shutout.
