Looking for Revenge
The first Texas Derby of the season was one to forget for North Texas SC. John Gall’s side will look to move on from that result as they host Houston Dynamo 2 on Sunday night for the only meeting at Choctaw Stadium this season. Last year, North Texas earned a draw and a win against Dynamo Dos in two home matches. Head coach Gall remains the winningest manager in the derby’s history for North Texas, having led the club to both of its victories in the series.
Picking Up the Rhythm
Over their last five matches, North Texas SC has recorded three wins, one draw, and one loss. Impressively, the team has posted back-to-back clean sheets, winning 2-0 and 1-0, which marked both their first shutouts of the season and their first road victory of the year. Although it has been 16 days since their last league match, the squad will aim to maintain that momentum after a turbulent start to the campaign.
The Texan Foe
Houston Dynamo 2 are coming off a scoreless draw at home, though they secured the extra point via the post-match shootout. Under first-year head coach Marcelo Santos, the team holds a solid 5-3-1 record. One key player to watch is Exon Arzu, who leads the team with three goals—one of which came in the previous encounter with North Texas.
