New England Revolution will want to be careful against Ching, who has scored eight times in 12 matchups including three in six with the Dynamo. They are 0-3-2 in their last five home matches. They took the lead on Benny Feilhaber’s goal right before halftime. For the second straight match, the Revolution then blew the advantage by allowing three goals over the final 45 minutes. New England Revolution allowed three goals for the second straight match and has conceded 36 - the East’s second-highest total. They fell to 0-2-2 in their last four after Saturday’s 3-1 loss at Columbus.
Houston Dynamo' Hunter Freeman scored in the 86th minute, and it remains his lone 2011 goal. Houston Dynamo improved to 2-6-3 in MLS play against New England with a 1-0 victory April 17. Houston Dynamo moved into a tie for third place in the conference and are three points behind second-place Philadelphia. Houston Dynamo' Adam Moffat and Brian Ching scored Sunday for Houston, which has two wins and a draw in its last three contests. Houston Dynamo won 2-1 over Portland on Sunday and will return home to face Real Salt Lake on Saturday. They can move into a tie for second place if they get their first road victory Wednesday night against the lowly New England Revolution.
