A busy first half

Five goals came in the first 37 minutes at Snapdragon Stadium on Wednesday. San Diego FC led 2-0 after Anders Dreyer's 20th-minute penalty and Cédric Bakambu's 22nd-minute shot from outside the box.

Houston Dynamo FC replied with three in a row. Guilherme scored in the 24th minute, assisted by Lawrence Ennali. Mateusz Bogusz tied it in the 33rd off a Guilherme pass. Guilherme then hit a volley from outside the box in the 37th to give Houston a 3-2 halftime lead.

San Diego levels it

Houston held the lead through most of the second half. In the 86th minute, Gabriel Pirani scored from close range after a corner to tie the match 3-3.

San Diego finished with 61 percent possession and outshot Houston 17-10. Houston goalkeeper Jonathan Bond made three saves, and San Diego's CJ dos Santos did not record a save; Houston's three shots on target were all goals.

Houston moved to 46 points (13 wins, 7 draws, 9 losses). San Diego has 33 points. The Dynamo host FC Dallas on Saturday.
