We looked pretty good for the first 25 and then tailed off. It will be an interesting second half

Awesome win on my birthday!

Good possession all around and I want to give Ching huge props on that first goal for keeping the play alive and playing an excellent ball to Cruz who did great finishing it off. Also glad that Cameron was able to keep the ball down on his shot. Good night for the Dynamo
