Los Angeles FC remained unbeaten in all-time regular-season matches against Houston Dynamo FC when the two teams battled to a 1-1 draw on Saturday afternoon in Houston.
Each team scored in a two-minute window early in the second half. LAFC struck first when Corey Baird waited in the box just onside for a pass from Latif Blessing through the Houston defense and onto his left foot, from where he made short work from very close range to find the bottom-left corner of the net in the 55th minute.

Fortunately, they very shortly will have the opportunity to start to right the ship, and earn their first points in MLS play when the Houston Dynamo come to Providence Park for Portland’s home opener in league play on Saturday (7:30 pm PDT, broadcast on KPDX).
