NEW YORK RED BULLS vs HOUSTON DYNAMO RED BULL ARENA, Harrison, N.J. August 10, 2012 (WEEK 23, MLS Game #214)
8 p.m. ET (NBC SN)
The New York Red Bulls and Houston Dynamo meet for the second time in a week, in the back end of their home-andhome series on Friday night at Red Bull Arena. Last Friday, at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston, the Dynamo took a 2-0 victory, extending their long undefeated streak and jumping over the Red Bulls into a tie for first place in the Eastern Conference. The victory also extended the Dynamo’s winning streak to five games; the Red Bulls have lost back-toback contests for the first time since the start of the season. REFEREE: Chris Penso.

The Dynamo victory snapped a 10-game winless streak against New York, since a 1-0 win May 31, 2008. The Red Bulls had won four of the 10 league and MLS Cup meetings in between, with six draws. A Kenny Cooper goal gave the Red Bulls a 1-0 victory May 9 at Red Bull Arena. The Dynamo have never won at New York, with four losses and four draws in eight league and MLS Cup meetings all-time. Coaches record: Dominic Kinnear vs. NY: P19 W6 L5 D8 … Hans Backe v HOU: P6 W2 L1 D3 LAST MEETING (MLS) The Dynamo took the lead after just two minutes. Brad Davis delivered a free kick to the back post, and after some pinging around the box, Andre Hainault fired a shot across the front of the goal and Jermaine Taylor met the ball with his knee at the right post, knocking it across the goal line. Houston doubled the lead in the 28th minute. Macoumba Kandji hit a beautiful swerving ball to the back post, where Calen Carr skied over a defender to park a header just inside the far post.

MLS GAME INFORMATION
NEW YORK RED BULLS The New York Red Bulls lost for a second game on the trot in the defeat in Houston. The Red Bulls now sit in third place in the Eastern Conference, with 38 points from 23 games. TEAM NEWS Red Bulls head coach Hans Backe made three changes that fell 3-1 to the Montréal Impact at Stade Saputo. Tim Cahill made his Red Bulls debut, coming into the team with Teemu Tainio and Heath Pearce, in place of Joel Lindpere, Dax McCarty and Kenny Cooper. The Red Bulls have lost back-to-back games for the first time this season since opening the campaign with defeats at FC Dallas and Real Salt Lake. “Defending-wise, we were all over the place with no attacking game, too many unforced errors. We couldn’t really create anything over 90 minutes,” said Backe. “ … We have to definitely look at the video and go through our defending game and our attacking game because we need to do something to match them.” Tim Cahill made his Red Bulls and MLS debut, playing 90 minutes in the center of the park. “That wasn’t the plan. When we were doing these subs, we were thinking of doing 60 minutes and then taking him out,” said Backe. “He is a hard worker with a phenomenal attitude and spirit. It was the only choice but he didn’t pick up any injuries, so that’s good.” Said Cahill: “I trained once with this team and then play the whole 90 minutes; it’s pretty full on. I think that this is what is going to be expected with MLS. I keep trying to prepare myself to go again because there are a few injuries and as you’ve seen tonight, I think lads went off and there were already three subs made.” Teemu Tainio also made his first appearance in the Red Bulls lineup since March 31, when he played the second half as a substitute vs. Montréal. It was his first start since the second match of the season. With Cahill and Tainio installed in central midfield, there was no room for Joel Lindpere – who Backe says will have to feature in a wide role in the team. “It doesn’t work centrally. He’s more of a wide player who can tuck in in the attacking game. He’s not a guy who wins 50-50 [balls] and put pressure on midfield,” said Backe. “He’s a guy who needs time and space on the ball and then create for crosses and one-twos and things like that.” Said Lindpere: “That makes the team stronger when you have competition. I think [Jan Gunnar] Solli played a couple games [at left mid]; five, six games he played there then Connor Lade played a couple games and when you see the team get stronger, we get new players in and everybody gets healthy, that makes it more difficult for every player and maybe also for the coach. Now it’s easy, when you don’t get a result you can switch and that should be the quality of a strong team. When something doesn’t work out, you can put it another way.” Heath Pearce returned to the starting lineup for the first time in six games, since he was late substitution because of injury in the June 30 game at Toronto FC. Wilman Conde made his fourth consecutive start, but asked to come off after 70 minutes. He was not able to take part in full training in the week leading up to the return match in New York. “I’m not sure if he wanted to switch,” said Backe. “I wonder if it’s a groin injury or something like that, or perhaps he felt it. I don’t think he got injured, but he wanted to go out.” After playing Kenny Cooper alongside Thierry Henry as the strike partnership for two consecutive matches, Sebastien Le Toux was given the start up top alongside Henry. “It’s still building. It’s my first game playing up top with him. We are still trying to find each other and build chemistry but it takes time,”said Le Toux. “It’s just my second week with the team and I hope it keeps getting better and better.” HOUSTON DYNAMO The Houston Dynamo recorded a fifth consecutive victory in the win against the Red Bulls, and extended their home unbeaten streak in the process. The Dynamo moved into a tie for first place in the Eastern Conference with 40 points from 23 games. TEAM NEWS Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear made two changes to the team that came away with a 2-0 win against Toronto FC at BMO Field. Jermaine Taylor and Will Bruin came back into the team, in place of Warren Creavalle and Brian Ching. The victory was the Dynamo’s fifth in a row, matching their club record, and their eighth consecutive game overall without a loss. “It’s always big when you score first, whether it’s in the first minute or the 80th minute,” said Kinnear. “When you score first it gives you confidence. It gave us a lot of energy and brought the crowd into it right away. I think it gave the guys a lot of confidence and uplifted them physically and mentally.” Houston is still undefeated in league play at their new BBVA Compass Stadium, having gone unbeaten in 11 games. Their overall home undefeated streak is now at 19 games dating back to last season, the third-longest in MLS history.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
“This is probably the hardest place in the league to give up a goal early because it’s so hot out there and guys die,” Houston defender Bobby Boswell said. “For us to get out there and get it done, [Kinnear] called us out on that the last couple of games and we’ve responded pretty well. We’re being stingy with the goals and it helps to get an early one.” Calen Carr scored his fourth goal in the last four games, all since returning to the starting lineup for the first time since June 16. “Once you get one goal it’s always easier to get the next. I think that has been part of it,” Carr said. “Another thing is just playing with these guys. We have a lot of great players on this team, especially now with Boniek Garcia drawing a lot of attention. Everything is clicking for us right now as a team, which is the most important thing.” Said Kinnear: “He is good in the air. He has good timing. We said we missed him when he was injured for that month or so. We missed his versatility and his overall play. He is coming into good form. He is feeling confident attacking the ball and it was a great goal for him.” Mac Kandji added his first assist of the season; he has two goals and one assist in the seven games since Kinnear installed a 4-3-3 tactical scheme. “In the 4-3-3, there’s more space and teams have to compensate for the middle, which creates a gap for me and can create a two-on-one with Mac [Kandji] and I against a defender,” left back Corey Ashe said. “Finding Mac, his movement is great moving up and down the line and I’m starting to build a good relationship with him.” The Dynamo extended their current shutout streak to 320 minutes with the victory. They had a 356-minute streak snapped on July 18. They have recorded clean sheets in six of their last seven games, allowing just a single goal (the July 18 2-1 win vs. KC) since the start of July. “When I look back on it, I don’t think there are going to be brighter moments in my career than what I have had with this team,” said goalkeeper Tally Hall. “It’s just been a great two-thirds of the season and the most important third is ahead of us. We have a great base with how we are doing things and we just need to keep building from there.”

NEW YORK RED BULLS VS HOUSTON DYNAMO – AUGUST 10, 2012 – 8:00 PM ET
BULLETIN BOARD RED BULLS HOST DYNAMO FRIDAY, LOOK TO ERASE LAST FRIDAY’S LOSS IN HOUSTON After falling 2-0 to the Houston Dynamo on Friday, the Red Bulls hope to exact revenge as the teams battle for the second time in seven days when New York hosts the Texas side at Red Bull Arena at 8:00 PM ET (TV: NBC Sports Network; Radio: 93.1 FM).
HOME SWEET HOME The Red Bulls remain one of two teams in MLS this season that are unbeaten at home. New York has posted a 7-0-3 record at Red Bull Arena; back-to-back opponent Houston Dynamo is the other club unbeaten at home, upping their record to 8-0-3 at BBVA Compass Stadium with their 2-0 win over New York on Friday.
On Friday in the second of three meetings between the two sides this year, the Dynamo moved into a tie for first place in the Eastern Conference on the strength of a 2-0 victory over New York at BBVA Compass Stadium. The loss dropped the Red Bulls to 11-7-5, 38 points on the season, with Houston moving to 11-5-7 and 40 points. With Sporting Kansas City’s victory over the New England Revolution on the weekend, the Red Bulls are currently in sole possession of third place in the Eastern Conference, but are just two points shy of Houston and Sporting (12-7-4, 40 points) for the top spot.
RED BULLS SIGN TIM CAHILL AS DESIGNATED PLAYER The New York Red Bulls announced July 26 that it has signed midfielder Tim Cahill as a Designated Player. Per MLS and club regulations, specific terms of the deal were not disclosed. Cahill made his team debut on Tuesday in New York’s 2-1 loss to English side Tottenham Hotspur, as Cahill started and played the first half.
The Red Bulls and Houston first played this season on May 9 at Red Bull Arena, with New York shutting out the Dynamo 1-0 on Kenny Cooper’s seventh minute goal. Both the Red Bulls and Dynamo are unbeaten at home this season, with New York posting a 7-0-3 record in Harrison this season, while Houston moved to 8-0-3 at home with their win over New York on Friday. All-time vs. Houston, New York is 4-3-7. RED BULLS-DYNAMO CONNECTIONS Dynamo forward Macoumba Kandji was a member of the Red Bulls from 2008-2010. New York signed Kandji during the 2008 season on loan from the Atlanta Silverbacks of the then-USL First Division, and he eventually joined the club permanently. In 41 matches with New York, Kandji started 30, scoring six goals and registering seven assists. On Sept. 14, 2010, the team sent Kandji to the Colorado Rapids in exchange for midfielder Mehdi Ballouchy. RED BULLS FALL IN HOUSTON, 2-0 The New York Red Bulls dropped a 2-0 decision to the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium Friday night. The Dynamo took the lead in the second minute. A Brad Davis free kick fell in the box to forward Macoumba Kandji, whose shot was blocked by a diving Bill Gaudette. Andre Hainault was first to the rebound on the left wing and hit a pass across the six-yard box that Gaudette deflected and was kneed in from close range at the back post by Houston’s Jermaine Taylor. In the 28th minute, the hosts doubled their lead. Kandji had the ball on the left wing and swung a cross into the box that was headed into the back of the net by Calen Carr. The Red Bulls looked to get back into the game in the second half. In the 59th minute, Thierry Henry laid it off to Sebastien Le Toux at the top of the box and the Frenchman smacked it well high with his left foot. Five minutes later, Tim Cahill, making his MLS regular season debut, got his head to a Henry corner kick and nodded it just past the right post. CAHILL MAKES MLS DEBUT The Red Bulls’ newest Designated Player, Australian International Tim Cahill, made his MLS debut on Friday in the club’s 2-0 loss at Houston. The former Everton and Millwall midfielder started the match and played all 90 minutes, registering two shots. Cahill made his first overall appearance in a New York kit last Tuesday when New York hosted Tottenham Hotspur FC at Red Bull Arena. New York fell, 2-1, but Cahill made an immediate impact, drawing a penalty kick eight minutes into the match that led to the Red Bulls’ only goal of the match. MCCARTY MISSES FIRST MATCH Due to yellow card accumulation, Red Bulls midfielder Dax McCarty missed the Red Bulls’ 2-0 loss at Houston on Friday. McCarty had started all of the club’s first 22 matches of the 2012 season up until Friday, logging 1,974 out of a possible 1,980 minutes. McCarty has registered two goals and one assist this season. Joel Lindpere and Kenny Cooper are the only two New York players who have featured in every regular season match.
Cahill, a player who has featured as an attacking midfielder and forward during his career, comes to New York after an illustrious career with English Premier League side, Everton FC, where he had played since 2004. He had made 278 appearances for the Toffees, scoring 68 goals over eight seasons with the club. The Australian was Everton’s leading scorer in his first year with the team and was named Player of the Season. Cahill was also the club’s leading scorer with nine goals in the 2008/09 campaign and served as team captain for part of the 2009/10 season. The 32-year-old became the 71st player in Premier League history to reach the 50 goal milestone when he scored against Blackpool in Nov. 6 2010. Last season, Cahill featured in 41 games, tallying three goals in all competitions. In October 2006, Cahill was named as one of 50 nominees for the Ballon D’Or, given to the European Football of the Year. Prior to joining Everton, Cahill featured for English side, Millwall, where he made a total of 249 appearances and scored 56 goals. Cahill was part of the side that went the FA Cup Final for the first time in club history in the 200304 season and earned a spot in the UEFA Cup. He helped his side earn promotion to the English First Division after it finished first in the 2000-01 campaign. Cahill joined MIllwall from Sydney United. On the international level, Cahill featured in the 2006 and 2010 World Cups as a member of the Australian National Team. He was the first Australian to score a World Cup goal in 2006, when he found the back of the net against Japan, and helped his country earn a spot in the Round of 16. He has earned a total of 55 caps for Australia, amassing 24 goals – three of which came in the two World Cups he played in. RED BULLS ACQUIRE DRAFT CHOICE, INT’L SPOT FOR BALLOUCHY The New York Red Bulls announced July 30 that it acquired a 2013 international spot and a 2013 conditional draft pick from the San Jose Earthquakes in exchange for midfielder Mehdi Ballouchy. “We want to thank Mehdi for his service to the Red Bulls,” New York Red Bulls General Manager and Sporting Director Erik Soler said. “It was a difficult decision to let Mehdi go. However, trading him provides us additional roster and financial flexibility moving forward.” Ballouchy was in the midst of his second full season with the Red Bulls. He was acquired from the Colorado Rapids on Sept. 14, 2010 in exchange for forward Macoumba Kandji. This season, Ballouchy made 16 appearances and 10 starts, recording one goal and two assists. He made 51 total appearances during his time in New York. RED BULLS WAIVE MADURO The New York Red Bulls announced July 28 that it waived midfielder Ryan Maduro. Maduro signed with the Red Bulls on March 19. The former Providence College product made his New York debut on May 29 against the Charleston Battery in U.S. Open Cup play, but had not featured in a MLS game. HENRY GETS 11TH Thierry Henry scored the Red Bulls’ lone goal in their 3-1 loss at Montreal on July 28. The goal was his 11th of the season, which is second best on the team
NEW YORK RED BULLS VS HOUSTON DYNAMO – AUGUST 10, 2012 – 8:00 PM ET
behind Kenny Cooper (13). Henry is fourth in MLS in goals and also leads the club with six assists. PAIR OF FIFTHS Red Bulls midfielder Joel Lindpere and defender Roy Miller both earned assists on Thierry Henry’s goal in the Red Bulls’ 3-1 loss at Montreal on July 28. For both men, it was their fifth assist of the season, which puts them in a tie for second on the team behind Henry, who has six. Lindpere also has three goals in 23 appearances this year, while Miller has played in 20 games. SUPER COOPER Red Bulls forward and leading scorer Kenny Cooper snapped a seven match scoring drought with a bang on July 21 against the Philadelphia Union, scoring both New York goals in a 2-0 victory. It was Cooper’s third multigoal game of the season as he also found the back of the net twice on March 25 vs. Colorado and April 7 at Columbus. The forward now has 13 goals on the season, which is tied for second in Major League Soccer, four behind league leader Chris Wondolowski of the San Jose Earthquakes. ASSIST-LADEN PERFORMANCE Red Bulls rookie defender/midfielder Connor Lade turned in a sparkling performance on July 21 against the Philadelphia Union, earning assists on both of Kenny Cooper’s goals as New York won 2-0. Lade has appeared in 16 matches this season, starting 13 times and has three assists. The Red Bulls Academy product and former St. John’s University standout has become a fixture in the lineup, starting eight out of the club’s last nine matches, and appeared in 11 straight overall. DROUGHT OVER New York captain and forward Thierry Henry scored the game-winner on July 18 in the Red Bulls’ 1-0 victory over the Chicago Fire. It was the Frenchman’s first goal since April 28, also a 1-0 home victory for New York over the New England Revolution. Henry had gone four matches without a goal or assist. He picked up his team leading sixth assist of the season on July 21 in the Red Bulls’ 2-0 victory over Philadelphia, setting up Kenny Cooper’s second goal of the match. BORRAJO DEBUT Red Bulls defender Jonathan Borrajo made his MLS debut on July 21 against Philadelphia, replacing the injured Brandon Barklage in the 16th minute. The Red Bulls signed the Clifton, NJ native this offseason after he spent two seasons with Norwegian club Hamarkameratene. Barklage left the game with a hamstring injury. SCORING FIRST The Red Bulls’ 2-0 victory on July 21 vs. Philadelphia extended the team’s unbeaten streak under head coach Hans Backe in regular season games where the team scores first. In those games, New York is 32-0-11, including an 8-0-2 mark this year. TWO FOR TOUX Red Bulls forward Sebastien Le Toux contributed two goals in his first two games with the club after being acquired from Vancouver Whitecaps FC on July 13. Le Toux assisted on Thierry Henry’s game winning goal in the team’s July 18 victory against the Chicago Fire, and scored just 24 minutes into his Red Bulls’ tenure last Sunday against Seattle Sounders, a match that ended in a 2-2 draw. HENRY TALLIES ASSIST AS ALL-STARS BEAT CHELSEA, 3-2 Red Bulls forward Thierry Henry assisted on Chris Wondolowski’s opening goal in the MLS All-Star Team’s 3-2 win over reigning UEFA Champions League winner, Chelsea FC, July 25 at PPL Park. Henry, who was voted to the MLS First XI, received the ball from Landon Donovan on the left wing and hit a first-time cross that San Jose’s Wondolowski got to and slotted into the back of the net. In his second All-Star Game appearance, Henry started and played 57 minutes before being replaced by Sporting Kansas City’s Graham Zusi. Red Bulls defender Heath Pearce was also named to the MLS First XI but was replaced by San Jose’s Justin Morrow on the squad due to his right hamstring strain.

Le Toux had a pair of standout seasons with the Union, recording 25 goals and 20 assists in 62 regular season starts. He led Philadelphia in both goals and assists in 2010 and 2011 and helped his club reach the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time ever last year.

He was also with Seattle from 2008-09 while it played in the United Soccer Leagues First Division (USL-1). Le Toux earned a spot on the USL-1 Second Team after racking up 14 goals, which was good for second in the League. The 2008 campaign followed up his first year in the United States, when he won the USL-1 Most Valuable Player of the Year, tallying 10 goals, and helping the Sounders win the Commissioner’s Cup (regular season winner) and USL-1 Championship (playoffs winner).

NEW YORK RED BULLS VS HOUSTON DYNAMO – AUGUST 10, 2012 – 8:00 PM ET
SOLLI SCORES TWO-STRAIGHT After going goalless in 42 with the Red Bulls, midfielder Jan Gunnar Solli scored goals in two consecutive games on June 24 and June 30. The Norwegian most recently found the back of the net on June 30, volleying home a Brandon Barklage cross in a 1-1 tie against Toronto F C. Six days prior, Solli picked a good time to score his first MLS goal, as his 55th minute tally against D.C. United proved to be the game-winning goal in a 3-2 victory at Red Bull Arena. RECORD CROWD The Red Bulls’ 3-2 win over D.C. United on June 24 was attended by a record crowd at Red Bull Arena for a Red Bulls match (25,187). It broke the previous Red Bull Arena record set on Oct. 4, 2011 - a day when the Red Bulls won 20 over the LA Galaxy. RED BULLS LOAN HERTZOG FOR REST OF YEAR The New York Red Bulls announced June 27 that the loan of forward Corey Hertzog to USL-PRO side Wilmington Hammerheads was extended for the remainder of the USL-PRO season. The teams had initially agreed to a one month loan for the former Penn State University forward on May 29. While on loan with the Hammerheads, Hertzog has played in seven matches and registered four goals and two assists. Wilmington is currently in fourth place in USL-PRO with a 5-4-4 record. Originally drafted by New York in the first round (13th overall) of the 2011 MLS SuperDraft out of Penn State University, Hertzog had not made a first team appearance for the Red Bulls in 2012. Last season, Hertzog featured in five regular season games. Hertzog scored one goal in three MLS Reserve League appearances this year. BARKLAGE BURNS FORMER CLUB Red Bulls defender Brandon Barklage made his former team pay on June 24, as he popped in his first two career MLS goals in helping the Red Bulls to a 32 win over D.C. United. Barklage tied the match at one apiece when he deflected in a Joel Lindpere corner in the 20th minute, and gave New York the lead with a stunning strike in second half stoppage time. In addition, Barklage became the first defender in franchise history to score two goals in a single match. PEARCE ON THE BOARD Red Bulls defender Heath Pearce scored in the 86th minute on June 20 against Vancouver to give the Red Bulls a 1-1 draw. The goal was Pearce’s first career MLS goal. However, Pearce did score his first Red Bulls goal on May 29 in the U.S. Open Cup, a 3-0 victory over the Charleston Battery. OPEN CUP ACCO-LADE Despite the Red Bulls’ exit from the U.S. Open Cup in the fourth round at Harrisburg June 5, the competition saw the first two career goals from Red Bulls defender and former Academy member Connor Lade. Lade notched a goal in each of New York’s two Open Cup contests, on May 29 at the Charleston Battery and on June 5 at Harrisburg. RED BULLS ACQUIRE NATIONAL TEAM DEFENDER PEARCE The New York Red Bulls announced May 17 they acquired U.S. National Team defender Heath Pearce, allocation money and future considerations from Chivas USA in exchange for forward Juan Agudelo. Pearce made his debut on May 19 against Montreal, playing 90 minutes in New York’s 2-1 victory. Pearce was in the midst of his fourth season in Major League Soccer, playing every minute of Chivas USA’s 10 games this year. Last year, Pearce, who has played in every defensive position during his career, featured in 30 games, notching three assists. The Modesto, CA native was acquired by Chivas USA from FC Dallas on Feb. 15, 2011 in exchange for allocation money. With FC Dallas, Pearce was part of the side that made the final of the 2010 MLS Cup. In that season, Pearce featured in 28 games, notching six assists. Pearce joined FC Dallas in Sept. 2009 after playing in Danish Superliga side Nordsjælland (2005-07) and German team Hansa Rostock (2007-09). With Nordsjælland, Pearce notched 75 appearances and scored two goals before moving to Hansa Rostock, playing in 31 games.
Pearce has earned 35 caps for the United States National Team, making his debut on Nov. 12, 2005 against Scotland. The 5-10, 175-pound defender helped the U.S. qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup and was named to the 30-man preliminary roster. Pearce was also a member of the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup squad and started five games in the Americans’ run to the final of the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Agudelo, a graduate of the Red Bulls Academy, featured in 33 games for New York since he became professional in 2010, starting 13, and scoring six goals and two assists. STREAK SNAPPED, BUT A NEW RECORD When the Red Bulls surrendered a goal to Philadelphia Union forward Lionard Pajoy in the 31st minute on May 13, it snapped a 321-minute shutout streak by Red Bulls goalkeeper Ryan Meara. The streak is a record for MLS rookie goalkeepers, besting Union goalkeeper Zac MacMath's previous mark. MAKING HISTORY The Red Bulls made history on April 7 when they defeated the Columbus Crew by a 4-1 score. New York became the first team in Major League Soccer history to win three consecutive matches by three or more goals. Their victory against Columbus was preceded by a 5-2 win over Montreal on March 31 and a 4-1 defeat over Colorado on March 25. OH HENRY Thierry Henry scored seven goals in a three-game span from March 25 through April 7. Henry is the first MLS player since Edson Buddle in April 2010 to have three-straight multi-goal games. Additionally, Henry’s seven goals in a three-game span is the first such streak in MLS since Landon Donovan did so in April 2008. The last Red Bulls player to have consecutive multi-goal games was Jozy Altidore, who scored two goals on Aug. 12, 2007 vs. Toronto FC, and two more the following match on Aug. 18, 2007 vs. the Los Angeles Galaxy. HENRY WINS UNPRECEDENTED THIRD-STRAIGHT MLS PLAYER OF THE WEEK AWARD New York Red Bulls forward and captain Thierry Henry won an unprecedented third-straight MLS Player of the Week Award April 9, taking home the honors for Week 5 of the MLS season. Henry, the MLS Player of the Month for March, became the first player in League history to win three consecutive MLS Player of the Week awards. The MLS Player of the Week is selected each week of the regular season by a panel of journalists from the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR).

DYNAMO, RED BULLS MEET IN SECOND LEG OF MIDSEASON SHOWDOWN The Houston Dynamo (11‐5‐7; 40 points) will look to maintain its first place position and set a franchise record with a sixth consecutive win on Friday when they visit the New York Red Bulls (11‐7‐5; 38 points) for the second meeting to complete a rare regular season home‐and‐home series. After Houston kept its perfect home record (8‐0‐3) with a 2‐0 win on Friday, it will look to deliver a home loss to New York, the only other MLS club with a perfect home record (7‐0‐3). Friday’s meeting at Red Bull Arena is the third and final meeting between the clubs and the decisive game in the season‐series, with the series tied 1‐1 after two meetings in 2012. The first playoff tiebreaker is head‐to‐head record, so Friday’s meeting would hold extra significance if the Eastern Conference rivals finish the season with equal points.
Houston vs. New York Neither club has won a regular season game on the road in the all‐time series, with Houston 0‐4‐3 at New York since 2006. Houston is 3‐4‐7 in regular season meetings with New York after last Friday’s 2‐0 home win. It was the first two‐goal difference in a game between the clubs since 2009, with the previous seven meetings decided by a goal or less, including five ties. In Friday’s meeting, Dynamo defender Jermaine Taylor delivered a 1‐0 lead in the second minute, directing Andre Hainault’s shot into the goal. Calen Carr scored the second Dynamo goal in the 28th minute, heading home a cross from Macoumba Kandji for a 2‐0 lead. In the clubs’ first meeting of 2012, May 9 at Red Bull Arena, New York secured a 1‐0 win as Kenny Cooper capitalized on a soft back pass in the Dynamo penalty area for the game‐winning goal in the seventh minute. The teams tied both matches in 2011, 1‐1 at Red Bull Arena on April 2 and 2‐2 at Robertson Stadium on May 21. New York defeated Houston in 2009 in the clubs’ only postseason meeting, a 4‐1 aggregate series win, with the Red Bulls registering a decisive 3‐0 second leg win in Houston.

DYNAMO NOTES
_
Dynamo match club record with fifth straight win: The Dynamo have won five consecutive regular season games for the first time since 2009, when the team matched a club‐record with a five‐game winning streak from May 23 – June 13, 2009. The Dynamo also recorded a five‐game winning streak from June 3 – June 24, 2007. The Dynamo have outscored their opponents 13‐1 during the current five‐game winning streak.
Cameron receives U.K. visa to complete transfer to Stoke City: Former Dynamo defender Geoff Cameron was granted a United Kingdom visa on Wednesday, completing his transfer to English Premier League club Stoke City. Cameron, 27, made 116 regular season appearances for the club in five seasons, scoring 11 goals with 15 assists. The Attleboro, Mass. native played various roles in central midfield and center back for the Dynamo and was named an MLS All‐Star in 2009, 2011 and 2012. Cameron also won Houston’s Golden Boot in 2011 with five goals and five assists in a career‐high 33 games.
Ricardo Clark returns to Dynamo: The Dynamo completed the signing of free agent midfielder Ricardo Clark on Wednesday. Since leaving the Dynamo at the end of the 2009 season, Clark played for Eintracht Frankfurt of the German second division through February, when he was loaned to Stabæk Fotball of the Norwegian first division. Clark was released from his contract with Eintracht Frankfurt in late July. A cornerstone of Houston’s 2006 and 2007 championship teams, Clark, a member of the 2006 MLS Best XI, scored 7 goals in 97 games played for the Dynamo between 2006 and 2009. Additionally, Clark has been capped 34 times by the U.S. Men’s National Team, including two starts in the 2010 World Cup.
Taylor tallies third fastest Dynamo goal: Jermaine Taylor scored just 72 seconds into the 2‐0 win over New York on Friday. It was the third fastest goal in Dynamo history, and second fastest in regular season play. Joseph Ngwenya scored 12 seconds into Houston’s SuperLiga game versus Morelia on July 29, 2007 for the fastest goal in team history. Brian Ching scored the fastest goal in MLS play, netting a goal 67 seconds into the match at Real Salt Lake on Sept. 19, 2009.
Dynamo are unbeaten in eight games: The Dynamo are unbeaten in their last eight games (6‐0‐2). It is the longest regular season unbeaten streak since Houston set a franchise record for consecutive games without a loss at 11, from April 11 ‐ June 20, 2009 (8‐0‐3), when the club matched a franchise record with five straight wins. Houston also had ten‐game unbeaten streaks in 2007 (8‐0‐2) and 2006 (4‐0‐6). Houston has outscored its opponents 15‐2 during the eight‐game streak.
Clean Sheets: Goalkeeper Tally Hall extended his career high with his tenth shutout of the season on Friday versus New York. Hall is tied for the league lead in shutouts with Jimmy Nielsen of Sporting Kansas City. With one more shutout, Hall will tie Pat Onstad, who set a franchise record with 11 shutouts in 2007, when the club had a total of 13 clean sheets in 30 regular season games. Hall and the Dynamo have recorded six shutouts in their last seven games and have not allowed a goal in the run of play since June 30.
