The Houston Dynamo and Portland Timbers played to a 0-0 draw on Tuesday in the first night game at BBVA Compass Stadium.

Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall recorded his second consecutive shutout and fourth shutout of the season. The Dynamo stand at 3-3-3 (12 points) on the year while the Timbers are 2-5-3 (9 points). Houston's best chance came in the 87th minute when midfielder Calen Carr broke free behind the Portland defense but Timbers goalkeeper Troy Perkins saved his shot from the top of the box.
