Houston Dynamos In First Place In Superliga 2010 Group A

The Houston Dynamos have just defeated the Puebla FC to clinch first place in Group A. Dominic Oduro scored the first goal of his career for the Texas team and was assisted by Cam Weaver.

The rest of the game was a measure of force between the two teams as well as a rush to judgement. The rush to judgement mentality and the desire to do any form of play did not help either team. Both teams dealt with multiple fouls.

It came to a point where the referee issued multiple red cards to members of both teams for unprofessional conduct.

The players affected by the red cards were Oduro and Cruz of the Dynamos, while Gonzalez and Brown of Puebla received the same punishment.

The last few minutes of the game were characterized by both teams just wanting to finish the game. Each side appeared to be fatigued. Neither team can afford to be tired in the last few games of the Superliga 2010.

The red cards will probably not help either team in the last leg of this tournament. Regardless, Brian Ching had a superb performance with his passing and defending of the ball. Houston Dynamos remain in first place in Group A of the Superliga 2010 followed by Puebla, CD Chivas USA, and Pachuca.
