Kheli Dube goal helps Revs top Dynamo, snap 5-game winless streak
HOUSTON (AP) -- Kheli Dube scored in the 73rd minute to lead the
New England Revolution to a 2-1 win over the Houston Dynamo on
Sunday night.
The win ended a five-game winless streak for New England
(8-15-5) and snapped Houston's two-game unbeaten streak.
Dube got a cross from Ilija Stolica from the left and put a
one-timer by Houston goalkeeper Pat Onstad from 10 yards to give
New England the 2-1 lead.
Dominic Oduro tied the score in the 60th minute on a one-timer
from 8 yards on the left after getting a cross from Richard
Mulrooney and nailing it into the net.
Shalrie Joseph gave the Revolution a 1-0 lead in the 43rd minute
after getting a pass from Emmanuel Osei in the box, dribbling it
to the right and then firing it past Onstad and into the left
net.
Oduro nearly tied things in first-half stoppage time, but his
shot from 10 yards in the middle of the box was stopped by a
diving Bobby Shuttleworth.
Houston (7-15-6) finished the game two men down after
second-half sub Joseph Ngwenya was given a straight red card in
second-half stoppage for a hard tackle, and Geoff Cameron was
given a straight red for a forearm to the face of Jason
Griffiths later in second-half stoppage.
