Houston Dynamo FC Defeat NYCFC 3-0 at Yankee Stadium

Houston Dynamo FC News Release


NEW YORK - Houston Dynamo FC defeated New York City FC 3-0 at Yankee Stadium earlier tonight behind a brace from forward Gabe Segal. The result marked Houston's seventh clean sheet of the season and extended their MLS unbeaten streak to four matches.

Notably, veteran midfielder Nico Lodeiro made his 200th MLS start tonight and is the second Dynamo player to reach that milestone this season, as midfielder Artur reached the same number on May 3 at LAFC.

The match also saw midfielder Erik Dueñas make his first MLS start with the Dynamo and midfielder Duane Holmes, who signed with Houston in early March, make his MLS debut.

Houston took the lead in the 26th minute when midfielder Jack McGlynn whipped in a cross from the left side of the box after recycling a corner delivery that found the back of the net off New York City defender Justin Haak.

Segal doubled Houston's lead in the 50th minute when a shot toward the far post from Dueñas was blocked away and fell to the feet of the striker near the six-yard box, allowing him to find the back of the net. Segal, who made his first MLS start of the season tonight, joined Houston in a trade from NYCFC in February 2024.

Segal completed his first career MLS brace in the second half stoppage time, scoring from the penalty spot following a foul on Holmes in the box by a NYCFC defender.

Segal found himself in a one-on-one situation versus goalkeeper Matt Freese in the 41st minute, but the young striker's attempt was blocked by the shot stopper.

Goalkeeper Jonathan Bond was called into action in the 58th minute when a shot by Aiden O'Neill forced the Englishman to get in front of the ball and block it away.

Houston returns to Shell Energy Stadium on Saturday, May 31, to host Sporting Kansas City on Kick Cancer Night, presented by MD Anderson Cancer Center. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. CT, and fans can secure tickets for the match HERE.
