Dynamo drops Club America

The Houston Dynamo continue their superb run of form, as they chalk up a 1-0 win over Club America in the opening match of their SuperLiga campaign.

The catalyst for the success of the Dynamo continues to be young Stuart Holden who delivered another superb ball that Chicago cast-off Nate Jaqua was able to touch past the keeper in the 41st minute. Holden took down a long throw-in and turned it toward the endline, beating his man and sending a low cross to an unmarked Jaqua at the six.

With the start of the Mexican season just 11 days away, Club America appeared to still be in preseason form, as Houston dominated much of the play. The 2006 CCC winners and 2005 Clausura champs seemed unable to break through Houston's backline.

Houston will face Morelia, who drew earlier in the night with DC United, on August 29. The MLS Champs will finish out the group phase of SuperLiga on August 1 against DC United.
