Bassi, Baird, Úlfarsson power Dynamo past Earthquakes 4-1 in storm-delayed match in Houston.
HOUSTON — The San Jose Earthquakes’ five-match undefeated streak ended in Houston Wednesday night as Thorleifur Úlfarsson scored twice off the bench in the second half after a lengthy weather delay in the Dynamo’s 4-1 victory.
The Earthquakes entered play with a 2-0-3 record in their last five matches, allowing just two goals. However, Houston’s Amine Bassi and Corey Baird scored two minutes apart in the first five minutes of the match. Bassi notched his eighth goal of the season when he scored unassisted in the third minute to give the Dynamo the lead. Bassi and Nelson Quiñónes picked up assists when Baird scored his third of the season for a 2-0 lead.
The Earthquakes cut the lead in half by intermission when defender Carlos Akapo took a pass from Cristian Espinoza in the 41st minute and scored for a second time this season. Houston put the match out of reach after thunderstorms halted play in the 62nd minute on goals by Úlfarsson in 77th and 89th minutes. Héctor Herrera and Bassi had assists on Úlfarsson’s second goal this season and Herrera and Franco Escobar assisted on his third.
