The Dynamo beat Isidro Metapan 1-0 on a Brian Ching goal in the 68th minute. Stuart Holden looked good.
From the CCL Feed:
HOUSTON - Second half substitute Brian Ching scored the lone goal in the 68th minute to lift the Houston Dynamo to a 1-0 victory against Metapan of El Salvador in a Group A CONCACAF Champions League match Wednesday night at Robertson Stadium.
Seven minutes after replacing Adi Akinbiyi, the United States international struck for the game's lone goal. The Hawaiian pushed a well-timed through ball by Stuart Holden, who came on at halftime, past charging Metapan goalkeeper Alvaro Alfaro.
Holden injected much-needed life in the attacking third for the Dynamo, which had nothing to show for their dominance in first-half possession. The midfielder, who had a breakout performance for the United States at the CONCACAF Gold Cup, replaced Brad Davis at halftime.
Houston will head to Panama to take on Arabe Unido on the second day of the group stage next Wednesday, while Metapan head to Mexico to face Pachuca on Tuesday night.
More to come.
