HOUSTON DYNAMO

The Houston Dynamo suffered a second consecutive defeat on their home ground, falling 1-0 to the San Jose Earthquakes on Tuesday evening at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo are in a tie for seventh place in the Western Conference with 10 points from 10 matches.

LAST MATCH

The game's only goal came in the 54th minute. A quick free kick from the right flank by Quakes midfielder Matias Perez Garcia caught the Houston defense napping, and the service into the middle of box found Adam Jahn unmarked for a header inside the far post.

The Dynamo nearly answered three minutes later after Boniek Garcia weaved his through the San Jose defense before being taken down in the six-yard box by San Jose goalkeeper David Bingham, and referee Ricardo Salazar awarded a penalty. But the ensuing spot kick from Giles Barnes was sent low to the right post, and Bingham made a diving save to his left to bat the ball outside the post.

Dynamo head coach Owen Coyle made two changes to the team that suffered a 4-1 defeat by FC Dallas at BBVA Compass Stadium. Luis Garrido and Boniek Garcia came into the team, in place of Nathan Sturgis and Will Bruin.

HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-2-3-1): Tyler Deric - Kofi Sarkodie (David Horst 83), Raul Rodriguez, Jermaine Taylor, DaMarcus Beasley - Luis Garrido, Ricardo Clark - Boniek Garcia (Rob Lovejoy 74), Brad Davis, Alexander Lopez (Will Bruin 65) - Giles Barnes.
