Who

Houston Dynamo vs Atlanta United

What

It’s the start of the 2018 season! The Dynamo host Atlanta United to kick off the season. During the off-season the Dynamo saw a number of their well known players depart while they brought in young talent to replace them. Atlanta spent the off-season working on adding to their depth chart. The Dynamo had a solid pre-season but came up a little short in the Mobile Mini Sun Cup in Arizona losing on penalty kicks in overtime of the Championship game. Now fans have the chance to see them back in Houston as the season gets underway.
