The reconfigured Houston Dynamo continued to turn heads on Saturday, hammering Columbus Crew SC 3-1 at rainy BBVA Compass Stadium via well-taken goals from all three of their frontrunners – Romell Quioto, Alberth Elis and Erick "Cubo" Torres.
Quioto got the hosts off to a dream start as he opportunistically exploited a slack pass from Crew SC goalkeeper Zack Steffen to open the scoring just two minutes into the game. Elis doubled the lead before halftime with a nimbly-taken side-volley of a corner kick delivered by Alex, who was dominant in central midfield all night.
