Clutch: Brian Ching’s equalizer in the 81st minute at Columbus and Andre Hainault’s game‐winner two minutes into stoppage time at Chivas USA were reminiscent of 2011 for the Dynamo. Last year, Houston scored 14 goals in the final 15 minutes of games, second best in MLS (Seattle). Six years after the club’s first match on April 2, 2006, only two players remain on the Dynamo roster: Brian Ching and Brad Davis. Defender Eddie Robinson retired in January and joined the front office as an assistant coach with the team’s Youth Academy and as a color analyst on TV broadcasts. UP NEXT: PORTLAND TIMBERS VISIT FOR STADIUM’S FIRST NIGHT MATCH Houston will battle the Portland Timbers in the first‐ever night match at BBVA Compass Stadium on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.
