HOUSTON, TEXAS (September 2, 2023)  Currently sitting in fourth place in a tightly contested Western Conference, Houston Dynamo FC are just eight points away from second place as they face off against the LA Galaxy, making every match crucial. This Saturday's game will showcase three players who have recently earned spots on their national teams for the upcoming FIFA break. Captain Hector Herrera, midfielder Adalberto "Coco" Carrasquilla, and goalkeeper Xavier Valdez will represent their countries, adding an extra layer of excitement to the match.

In their most recent victory, the Dynamo triumphed over the Columbus Crew with a 2-0 win. Forward Corey Baird scored his 11th goal of the season, maintaining his impressive form. Herrera, meanwhile, provided an assist to Aliyu Ibrahim for the second goal and earned a spot on the MLSSoccer.com Team of the Matchday for his standout performance.

The Dynamo have already bested the LA Galaxy this season with a 3-0 victory, where Herrera scored a brace and Amine Bassi converted a penalty kick. With a slight edge in the all-time series at 14-13-10, the Dynamo are determined to extend their dominance.
