through has to be chased down on that far end [Music] Houston looking for more here before the end of the half Mueller weoo now Jude Terry through the middle he comes win and penalties at Lumen field and Seattle over Tacoma last week for La played down to man for 50 minutes they've changed up their formation for tonight hoping to keep some of that magic going but they find themselves down one nil here in the first half with one minute of added time to come Jude Terry Mueller could this be a chance for him and it's cleared off his foot and he will have a corner for lafc Mueller still not 100% he's working his way back from injury and you could just tell last week he wasn't fully himself he's trying to get back into game shape very Dynamic player but just hasn't been able to show it quite yet they go short on the corner now whipped in cleared Away by Houston Terry gets there first and then Houston able to clear again awaiting the final whistle here in the first half from Corbin May the goal by Gabriel seagull coming off of a brace in the 4-nil win over North Texas three second half goals for Houston in that game so again just waiting for Corin May to go to his whistle for the

his trial went well they signed him now they're still working on the intricacies of the game with him but he's gold dangerous anything in the Box he excels it a raw player with good skills that they

Thomas hassal in goal tonight for lafc 2 Sanders Barbo plays to the middle kept Alive by mustow mustow to the left here comes lafc 2 in search of The Equalizer towards the edge of the 18 taken off the

scored four [Applause] goals for the fifth [Applause] time in club history make that the fourth time in club history twice this season they're tied for number 11 in the league in fewest goals allowed it seems like they're figuring it out at the right time although the four goals alloted against Tacoma was the most they've allowed in a single match so they scored four conceded four valde gives it off to Sergeant now reverses back to the middle sergeant again Kieran Sergent for Diego Gonzalez again played back Jefferson Medina launches to the middle kept Alive by Houston now to the outside dangerous spot looking for number two into the middle and cleared [Music] [Applause] away LA on the move battle forward along that far touch line and a foul is called [Applause] [Music] Gabe seagull the only goal tonight [Music] scored a brace last week and the 4-n win and he has the only tally of the game here in Houston 54 minutes in the books from SaberCat Stadium Race For It One by Houston

going I thought it was going to like Bend IN you know I [Applause] [Applause] f hou second straight game with a brace for Seagull huh that was a big goal huh so seagull has a brace for the second consecutive game and Houston now has opened up their advantage to two- nil spe [Applause] [Applause] so la also made another substitution here's the announcement now game number 35 ex game number 55 so if you're wondering what those numbers mean David stto replaces bajang Darbo here in the second half as La finds themselves down two-nil on the second consecutive brace from Gabe seagull caution has been issued by the referee to the laf C do number Lis Mueller had just picked up a yellow seagull a DC native nine appearances with the first team and now four goals in the last two games for him here for Dynamo 2 as they make their push for the postseason [Applause] and a foul and a free kick coming for LA one quick one and La can get right back in it as Hae pops into the area header popping around up there wioo back for Hae and that did not go as intended but kept alive [Applause] [Music] [Applause] go 63rd minute Sergeant leaves to the outside cross comes in out in front through everybody could have been number three for Houston instead it's a goal [Music] kick it's a good CR and a good ball into the box just unable to handle it could have been potentially a hatrick [Music] so a throw in here for Houston in the 65th minute [Music] [Music] be sharing that but uh so kind of going through that right now you'll hopefully not have to deal with that we hadn't up until this year but it's pretty brutal so not a throw one but a free kick coming into the box it goes but right into the hands of thas of Thomas Hass basically one was was it February and this last one was July strling out in front popped into the middle and a great defensive play and you can see the frustration starting to mount from La he's trying for more Sanders handled it well the youngster finds

their clean sheet streak to three games 2 nil and 4-nil the last two here at home valde now matuya Sergeant for Houston the cross and contact made with the keeper hassal but he's able to Corral it how

that's second goal especially from seagull was wonderful here comes haime for Sullivan now Rosales he goes down no foul Orban May says no physicality wins out 87th minute time running out for LA and as it stands right now I can't imagine we'll have that much stoppage time we had one minute in the first half we haven't had many stoppages here in the second so I'd imagine we'll see something similar to that barring something that happens in these final three and a half minutes La searching for The Equalizer Moy who came on as a sub for Musto haime Houston defended well in tight quarters deflects off of Rosales to throw in for Houston time running out Houston hanging on to it Angulo to the outside valde in no hurry sergeant Diego Gonzalez now sergeant again room in the middle chance whistles High this is Ayano in the 90th minute aono up Top Shot never got through to the outside cross back post I an arrow there and a corner coming big chance on a corner here for LA and it's handled easily four minutes of stoppage time can La find some more magic and take more of a strangle hold in the Western Conference standings or will Houston move within three points oh well defended by the backline of Dynamo 2 Javier Hernandez was making a run and it was played incredibly well L gel IND will minimum added to the second half of the game [Music] another yellow coming the officials like no move it back a few Corbin May Hae his through ball was blocked Hae whips it in over everybody G awaiting the final whistle here in Houston Dynamo two moments away from a huge three points just awaiting the final whistle from Corbin May does lafc 2 have one more push in them or will Houston hang on up next for Houston they go on the road to Colorado on August 3rd and for lfc2 they're home against Real monarchs on August 4th Iero Sullivan goes down he wants a penalty will and will not get it or will he and yes it is a penalty so a big chance here in added time for LFC 2 to force penalties what a turn of events so iono came on to the second half sub will step to the spot for lafc 2 after Sullivan drew the penalty Corbin May pointed to the spot here we go aano against Hansen to equalize late lafc was down 2-n in the 82nd minute Ayano approaches and the stop made Second Chance handled as [Applause] well Nico Hansen comes up huge and essentially wins it for Dynamo 2 wow and
