Newly acquired forward Cam Weaver – in his first game and on his birthday – set up Stuart Holden for the game’s only goal as the Dynamo took down the conference leaders. Holden jumped into the stands to hug his mother after the goal, making him one of just four players in league history to score game-winning goals against first-place teams in back-to-back games.
