Houston Dynamo FC News Release


HOUSTON - Houston Dynamo FC fell 4-1 to Inter Miami CF at Shell Energy Stadium earlier this evening.

The match featured midfielder Nico Lodeiro's first Dynamo goal and midfielder Erik Dueñas' first assist in orange, as well as the return of defenders Franco Escobar and Erik Sviatchenko to the starting lineup.

Lodeiro's goal came in the 85th minute to pull one back for Houston to give the sellout crowd something to celebrate. His left-footed finish found its way over the keeper following a through pass from Dueñas.

Inter Miami took the lead in the sixth minute when Telasco Segovia found the bottom right corner after Luis Suárez retrieved the ball inside the box and played it off to the midfielder.

Tadeo Allende doubled Miami's lead in the 37th minute with a shot that found the top left corner of the goal after dribbling his way into the box.

Inter Miami scored their third of the match in first-half stoppage time when Segovia found the bottom left corner to complete his brace.

Suárez scored Miami's fourth and last goal of the night in the 79th minute with a left-footed shot that found the back of the net.

Forward Ezequiel Ponce had Houston's first dangerous chance in the 17th minute following a low driven cross from defender Griffin Dorsey that found the Argentinean striker for a right-footed shot to the hands of goalkeeper Oscar Ustari.

Goalkeeper Andrew Tarbell was called into action in the 33rd minute after Allende forced the Louisiana native to get low and secure the shot.

Midfielder Artur took his chances from outside the box in the 35th minute, firing a powerful shot that missed just high.

The Dynamo almost scored their first goal of the night in the 61st minute after Ponce headed goal was deemed offside. Midfielder Jack McGlynn found Ponce in the middle of the box for a header that found the bottom left corner.

The Dynamo next travel to face Columbus Crew SC on Saturday, March 8, for their first trip of the year, with kickoff scheduled for 1:30 p.m. CT.
