COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (Sept. 13, 2025) \u2013 Houston Dynamo FC<\/strong> fell, 2-1, on the road to Colorado Rapids on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Colorado took the lead in the 10th minute off a set piece play that saw Cole Bassett find the bottom left corner from outside the box.<\/p>\n

Forward Ezequiel<\/strong> Ponce<\/strong> had an early chance in the second minute of the match, firing a powerful right-footed shot that just sailed over the crossbar.<\/p>\n

Goalkeeper Jonathan<\/strong> Bond<\/strong> was called into action in the seventh minute when the Englishman got low to safely secure a long distance shot from Paxten Aaronson.<\/p>\n

Defender Felipe<\/strong> Andrade<\/strong> freed himself up on the right flank and found Ponce in the box in the 30th minute for a header that missed the far post by inches.<\/p>\n

Bond was called into action again in the 41st minute, diving to his left to deny a low-driven shot from Rafael Navarro.<\/p>\n

Dynamo captain and midfielder Artur<\/strong> found the hands of goalkeeper Zack Steffen in the 45th minute with a curling shot from outside the box.<\/p>\n

In the 51st minute, a floated set piece from Jack McGlynn<\/strong> dropped in front of goal, and a shot from halftime substitute Pablo Ortiz<\/strong> was saved and cleared.<\/p>\n

Fourteen minutes later, Lawrence Ennali<\/strong> gave up his body to keep a ball in-play along the sideline. His touch found Ponce near the corner of the Colorado box. Ponce slotted across the top of the area to a wide open McGlynn, whose left-footed shot went just wide of frame.<\/p>\n

In the 68th minute, McGlynn made sure he wouldn\u2019t miss again. Ennali beat a defender along the left side, making his way to the endline, and chipping toward the back post for a streaking McGlynn who had a simple first-time tap home from close range for a 1-1 score.<\/p>\n

In the fourth minute of second half stoppage time Dynamo goalkeeper Bond played hero, as Colorado\u2019s Ku-Depietro had a diving header at the top of the six-yard box.<\/p>\n

But two minutes later, Colorado would find a winner, as Paxten Aaronson nodded a corner off of Andrade and in for a 2-1 lead they would not relinquish. Artur was sent off with a second yellow just before the full-time whistle.<\/p>\n
