Pumas 4-4 Houston: Dynamo in shootout
The Houston Dynamo battled Group B leader Pumas UNAM to a 4-4 draw at Estadio Olimpico Universitario in Mexico City Tuesday night.
Craig Waibel and Kei Kamara each scored two goals on the night for the Dynamo. The Dynamo would take a 2-0 lead 15 minutes into the game before Pumas fought back with goals by Dante Lopez and Efrain Juarez to tie the game.
After a Kamara penalty restored Houston's lead in the 33rd minute, the hosts scored twice in the final four minutes of the half through Francisco Palencia and Dario Veron.
The second half was equally frenetic and Waibel headed home a cross by Brian Mullan just five minutes into the second half to tie the game at 4. Substitute Dwayne De Rosario almost snatched a winner deep into injury time, but his long-range effort was saved by Pumas goalkeeper Sergio Bernal.
Houston's next Champions League game will be on Oct. 7 at Robertson Stadium against San Francisco.
