HOUSTON, TEXAS (July 7, 2018) Two goals by Phillipe Senderos (shown left) , in the 36th and 52nd minute, gave lead for the Houston Dynamo to take a 3-0 win over Minnesota United FC on Saturday, July 7 at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston. The win was the 150th regular-season victory in Dynamo history and extended their home unbeaten streak to six consecutive league matches and eight in a row across all competitions.
On the eighth Houston shot of the contest, Senderos tallied
his third goal of the season. The score was the third of his career for the
Geneva, Switzerland native. He added his second goal seven minutes into the
second half to give the Geneva, Switzerland native his first career brace in Major League Soccer. Sanderson
became the second Dynamo defender to score two goals in a single game since
Craig Waibel did so 13 years ago, on October 14, 2016, against Colorado.

Alberth Elis (No. 17, shown right) scored his ninth goal of the season, when he connected in the second
minute of second-half stoppage time. It was then forward’s 20th goal
in all competitions for the Dynamo this season. He is the ninth player in
Dynamo history to score 19 or more goals.
In four previous matches against Minnesota, the Dynamo has
come out on top once, a 2-1 win on September 20, 2017 at home. Their first two meetings
ended in draws; a 2-2 decision on April 15, 2017 and a scoreless ending on July
19, 2017. The only loss for Houston came earlier this, on April 28, 2018, when
Houston fell 2-1 at TCF Bank Stadium.
