The Dynamo were so close they could taste it. A questionable non-call by the linesman made that taste a bitter one.
LA Galaxy midfielder Romain Alessandrini slid to knock in a crossing pass in the fourth minute of added time Saturday night to give his team a share of the points against the Dynamo at the StubHub Center in Carson, Calif.
Replays showed Alessandrini was offsides when the crossing pass was hit through the six-yard box by Bradford Jameison. After conferring with the linesman, the referee allowed the goal to stand.
Houston (7-7-2) was seeking its first road win in its eighth game away from home.
