Midfielder\u00a0<strong>Jack<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>McGlynn<\/strong>\u00a0also made his return to the pitch tonight, coming on as a second half substitute after last appearing for the Dynamo on March 21 at FC Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>Austin opened the scoring in the 13th\u00a0minute, as Christian Ramirez and Myrto Uzuni traded passes at the top of the Dynamo box, before Ramirez laid it off to Jayden Nelson, whose right footed shot kissed off the far post and in for an early 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n<p>In the second minute of first half stoppage, Austin would double their advantage. A free kick set just outside of the Houston box was struck directly into the wall by Uzuni. That deflection left goalkeeper\u00a0<strong>Jonathan<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Bond<\/strong> diving in the wrong direction, as the ball trickled over the goal line for a 2-0 Austin advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Bond came up big in the 27th\u00a0minute, making a diving parry on a shot across goal to keep the deficit at one. The English shot stopper finished the match with three saves.<\/p>\n<p>Midfielder\u00a0<strong>H\u00e9ctor<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Herrera<\/strong>\u00a0tried his luck from deep in the 30th\u00a0minute with a right-footed strike that found the hands of Brad Stuver.<\/p>\n<p>Bond was called into action again in the 37th minute after denying a long-range shot from Joseph Rosales.<\/p>\n<p>Defender\u00a0<strong>Sam<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Vines<\/strong>\u00a0had a shot on target in the 44th\u00a0minute when Herrera played a ball to him at the back post for a left-footed shot that forced Stuver to get low and block it away for a Dynamo corner.<\/p>\n<p>Houston had a scoring opportunity in the 56th\u00a0minute when attacker\u00a0<strong>Guilherme<\/strong>\u00a0put a shot on goal with a free kick from 30-yards out that forced a diving save from\u00a0Stuver\u00a0at the near post.<\/p>\n<p>Guilherme tested Stuver in the 87th\u00a0minute with a powerful right-footed strike towards goal, which the Austin goalkeeper managed to\u00a0tip it\u00a0over the crossbar.<\/p>\n<p>Houston next returns to\u00a0<strong>Shell<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Energy<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Stadium<\/strong>\u00a0for a Round of 16 U.S. Open Cup match versus USL Championship side Louisville City FC on Wednesday, April 29, with kickoff set for 7:00 p.m. CT.
