The Dynamo have taken MLS by storm with a high-flying counterattack that has led to a league-leading six first-half goals in three games.
Unfortunately for Wilmer Cabrera's men, they have resembled more of a drizzle after halftime. They have conceded five goals in the second half, the second-worst mark in the league.
Getting it right on Saturday will be imperative because the Dynamo (2-1) play host to Eastern Conference leaders New York Red Bulls at BBVA Compass Stadium.
The Red Bulls (2-1-1) already have a late-game comeback on their resume, having scored twice in the final 14 minutes to win their season opener at powerful Atlanta United FC.
