Last night’s U.S. Open Cup match ended with a Dynamo victory, after Lovel Palmer scored the only goal of the match in the 81st minute. Luis LandÃn played well at the attacking midfield position before an injury forced him out of the game in the first half. Although it was not their finest performance, the Dynamo were happy to come away with the win. Tally Hall improved to 3-1 in Open Cup games.
The next match for the Open Cup will be Tuesday night at Robertson Stadium against Chivas USA, who advanced with a 1-0 win of their own over the Austin Aztex.
