Video: Houston Dynamo 1 – Luis Angel Firpo 1 Highlights (CONCACAF Champions League)

Match report from mlsnet.com

In San Salvador Tuesday night, the Houston Dynamo were three minutes from becoming the first Major League Soccer team to win on the road in the CONCACAF Champions League.

But Luis Angel Firpo rallied for a 1-1 draw on a goal by Fernando Leguizamon after Stuart Holden, who wore the captain’s armband, put Dynamo in front on 16 minutes.

Dynamo had the chance to move into sole possession of second place in Group B, one point behind Mexican side Pumas UNAM, which has already booked its passage into the knockout stages. Instead, Houston, which remains unbeaten in three road matches in the inaugural competition, is still in third place with six points, two points behind Luis Angel Firpo.

The final match of the group stage is Nov. 26, three days after MLS Cup, when Dynamo plays host to Luis Angel Firpo at Robertson Stadium. Houston needs a win to advance.
