HOUSTON (June 24, 2025) – Houston Dynamo FC return to MLS play on Wednesday, June 25, traveling to face Minnesota United FC at Allianz Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. CT, and fans can stream the action live via MLS Season Pass on Apple TV.

The two sides met earlier this season in Houston, where the Dynamo secured a 2-0 victory at Shell Energy Stadium. Defenders Felipe Andrade and Pablo Ortiz each scored their first MLS goals during their first-career MLS starts, while the team also earned their fifth clean sheet out of seven this season. Andrade’s performance earned him a spot on the MLSSoccer.com Team of the Matchday for Matchday 13.

Notably, the match marked the second time in Dynamo history where two players scored during their first-career MLS starts. The first occasion came on April 6, 2008, when Geoff Cameron and Franco Caraccio scored against FC Dallas.

Currently, forward Ezequiel Ponce leads Houston’s attack with six goals across all competitions, including four in regular season play. Defender Griffin Dorsey leads the team in distribution with six assists, followed by midfielder Jack McGlynn with five.

The Dynamo are coming off a 3-1 home defeat to CF Montréal on June 14. Midfielder Ondřej Lingr was Houston’s lone goal scorer, pulling one back in the 64th minute for his third goal of the season. Despite the result, midfielder Nico Lodeiro recorded his first MLS assist with the Dynamo and 92nd career regular season assist, the 10th most by any player in MLS history, while defender Franco Escobar made his 150th MLS regular season appearance.

McGlynn remains on international duty with the U.S. Men’s National Team, who won their group and qualified for the Concacaf Gold Cup Quarterfinals after victories over Trinidad and Tobago (5-0), Saudi Arabia (1-0) and Haiti (2-1). McGlynn featured in all three matches, while recording an assist versus Trinidad and Tobago. The U.S. will face Costa Rica in the Quarterfinal on Sunday, June 29, at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minnesota.

The Loons are also coming off a home defeat, losing 4-2 to San Diego FC, with Kelvin Yeboah scoring Minnesota’s second goal of the match, while the team’s first goal came from an own goal by San Diego’s backline. Minnesota currently sits third in the Western Conference with 30 points through 18 matches, holding an 8-4-6 (WLD) record. Tani Oluwaseyi leads the team’s attack with eight goals and five assists.

The Dynamo and the Loons met twice last season, with Houston earning a 2-1 victory in Minnesota in early April before playing to a 1-1 draw at Shell Energy Stadium in July. Midfielder Sebastian Kowalczyk scored the game-winning goal in the 2-1 victory, while former Dynamo forward Sebastian Ferreira was Houston’s lone goal scorer in the draw.
