Match Recap

Daniel Munie's 38th-minute strike was enough to give the San Jose Earthquakes a hard-earned 1-0 win over Houston Dynamo at home, a result that carries extra weight given what it does to the Major League Soccer standings. The Earthquakes climbed to 41 points sitting four clear of the playoff cut line, while the Dynamo — who came in ranked second in the West on 43 points — leave empty-handed after a run that has produced just one win in their last five. San Jose's unbeaten head-to-head record against Houston in recent meetings also continues: one win and two draws from three, with the Earthquakes yet to lose to this opponent. Munie's finish, coming before half-time and holding up for the full 90, is the kind of goal that matters more on the table than it looks on paper. Find it in the highlights and see exactly why it was enough.
