Houston (6-6-4) took a 1-0 lead in the 9th minute when Sebastian Kowalczyk took a pass from defender Ethan Bartlow and scored his third goal this season and the third of his two-year career. It was the second career assist for Bartlow, who notched one in 21 starts last season.

Maxime Crépeau finished with one save for the Timbers.
Andrew Tarbell saved one shot in his third start of the season for the Dynamo.
