SuperLiga: DC wins, Houston draws

DC United topped Club America with a 1-0 win, and Houston stayed even with United atop Group B with a draw against Morelia in Sunday's SuperLiga action.

A Rod Dyachenko goal in the 12th minute held up, as United sent Club America crashing out of the tournament with consecutive losses, while Houston, who got an even earlier goal from Joseph Ngwenya in the first minute, split points after Morelia's Marcio Batista equalized in the second half.

DC and Houston will face off on August 1 in the final match of group play with a place in the semi-finals waiting for the winner. An unlikely Club America win over Morelia in the other match would send both MLS clubs through to the semi-finals.

SuperLiga tie-breakers are first determined by head-to-head, then goal differential and finally goals scored, according to the official tournament rules.

DC was on point, looked good. The last 2 or 3 matches, you couldn't pay the keeper to let goal in from Emilio, hopefully he gets out of his rut. If not, then DC needs for Jaime Moreno to get better as soon as possible.
