MLS Regular Season
Onstad, teammates relish accomplishment
Against
Chivas USA last Saturday, Dynamo goalkeeper Pat Onstad became the oldest player to play in an MLS
game, passing previous record holder Preki. Onstad’s teammates may have given
him some grief about setting the record, but they have the utmost respect for
his accomplishment and the career he has put together.
“He’s
getting so old, he is setting down some roots way down in the ground,” joked
Craig Waibel. “It’s cool to play with someone who has that type of dedication
to the sport. It’s impressive.”

Houston earned its first road win of the 2010 season and moved into exclusive possession of second place in the Western Conference. Midfielder Brad Davis was at the center of both goals, scoring the first and setting up the second.

Dynamo 3, KC Wizards 0 - postgame notes
The
Houston Dynamo dominated the Kansas City Wizards for 90 minutes en route to a
3-0 victory at Robertson Stadium Saturday night to move to 3-2-1. Forwards
Luis Landín (one goal, one assist) and Dominic Oduro (two assists) led the way
for Houston.
It
was the second straight time the Dynamo followed a 2-0 loss with a 3-0 win.
They will try to continue their momentum on Wednesday night, hosting FC Dallas
at Robertson Stadium as part of a stretch in which Houston will play four games
in 13 days.
Dynamo defeat Wizards 3-0
The Houston Dynamo played nearly two-thirds of the match with a man advantage and cruised to a 3-0 victory over the Kansas City Wizards on Saturday night. Luis Ángel Landín had a goal and an assist, Brian Mullan bagged his first goal of the season, and rookie Sammy Appiah added Houston’s third on his professional debut.
Houston, however, should have been down a goal early when the Wizards’ Kei Kamara went one-on-one with goalkeeper Pat Onstad, but the former Dynamo forward could only hit the side netting.
