Los Angeles FC 2 3:1 Houston Dynamo 2 — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

DeCarlo Guerra scored one and set up another as ten-man Los Angeles FC 2 came from behind to beat Houston Dynamo 2 3-1, a result that sets up a home meeting with Real Monarchs SLC on July 5th. The visitors had taken a first-half lead and looked the more composed side before a flurry of cards changed the contest entirely.

The turning point arrived just before the break when Houston went in front through Gustavo Dohmann on 45 minutes, but the match turned in the second half after Myles Gardner received a second yellow card in the 49th minute, reducing the visitors to ten men. Luke Goodman levelled in the 68th minute after good work from DeCarlo Guerra, and Guerra sealed it with a solo strike in the 89th minute, moments after Los Angeles had already been playing a man down since Christian Díaz's red card on 35 minutes.

Houston were the better side in the first half and created more pressure after the break, but their discipline collapsed. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Houston Dynamo 2, but the result did not confirm that prediction, and the live signal correctly backed Los Angeles FC 2 at 1.68. Next up is a home fixture against Real Monarchs SLC on July 5th.
