In the opening game of Superliga group B play, the Houston Dynamo and Pachuca CF played a close game, but despite the Mexican team’s continuous possession, the MLS franchise took the vital three points.

Two Joseph Ngwenya goals for Houston was enough to beat a tough Pachuca team on a hot and steamy night in Houston, Texas.

This season will be the first for US National Team player Herculez Gomez with Pachuca after an impressive season with Puebla.
