ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Houston's Héctor Herrera scored late in the second half and Jonathan Bond made it stand up for the Dynamo in a 1-0 victory over Orlando City on Saturday night.
Neither team scored until Herrera found the net for the first time this season — unassisted in the 75th minute. Herrera has six career goals in 68 appearances with the Dynamo.
Jonathan Bond finished with three saves for Houston (3-4-0), earning his first clean sheet in his seventh start. He had seven of his 25 career shutouts last season — his first with the Dynamo.
Maxime Crépeau stopped four shots for Orlando City (1-6-1). He had the lone save in the first half.
It was the first matchup between the clubs since 2022 in a series the Dynamo now lead 3-2-0. Houston has outscored Orlando City 8-4 in the five matches.
