HOUSTON, TEXAS (March 16, 2024)The excitement is growing as the Houston Dynamo FC gear up to face off against the Western Conference leaders, Portland Timbers, in a regular season match at Shell Energy Stadium on Saturday, March 16, at 7:30 p.m. CDT.

After a thrilling run in the Concacaf Champions Cup, where they showcased their prowess, the Dynamo are raring to make their mark in the MLS once again. Despite a valiant effort in the recent Champions Cup, the team bowed out in the Round of 16 after a close encounter with the Columbus Crew. However, they remain determined to reclaim their winning form in the league.

The Dynamo's journey this season has been nothing short of remarkable. Notably, they are the only team in the U.S. competing for an impressive four trophies: MLS Cup, Champions Cup, Leagues Cup, and U.S. Open Cup. This ambitious pursuit underscores their commitment to excellence and their hunger for success.

Adding to the anticipation is the recent acquisition of midfielder Latif Blessing, a seasoned MLS veteran with a stellar track record. Blessing's arrival injects further talent and depth into an already formidable Dynamo lineup.

As the Dynamo prepare to take on the Portland Timbers, they'll be looking to continue their dominance over their rivals. Last season, Houston secured emphatic victories over Portland, including a resounding 5-0 win at Shell Energy Stadium. With the home advantage on their side, the Dynamo aim to replicate their past success and secure another crucial victory.
