Dwayne De Rosario scored first for the Dynamo in the 20th minute when he received a pass from Brad Davis off a free kick from 35 meters out on the right sideline and headed the ball into the net.
In the first of Holden’s two scores De Rosario fed the ball to Geoff Cameron on the lower post, who passed it to Holden in front of an open net, allowing Holden to boot it in for the goal in the 20th minute.
Holden netted his second goal in the 29th minute off a pass from Wade Barrett; passing the ball to Holden as he kicked it past goalkeeper Federico Vilar to put Houston up 3-0 at the half.
Houston extended its lead in the 54th minute on a goal by Brian Mullan. Cameron crossed a pass to Mullan and he came sliding in to fire a shot into the left side of the net.
