Memo Rodriguez's rise with the Dynamo reached its highest point Wednesday night.
Rodriguez's 25-yard shot in the 109th minute found its way through traffic and into the net to give the Dynamo a 3-2 victory over North Carolina FC in the fourth round of the U.S. Open Cup in Cary, N.C.
The goal came before North Carolina could clear a recycled ball on a corner kick. It fell to Rodriguez outside the penalty area. He ran to it and hit a low right-footed shot to the goalkeeper's right side. It is the first goal for Rodriguez in a Dynamo uniform.
