Dynamo held to draw by Panama's San Francisco
(foxsports.com) The Houston Dynamo played out a 0-0 draw with Panama's San Francisco FC in its first game of the CONCACAF Champions League on Tuesday night.
The Dynamo, finally getting in on the action after Hurricane Ike forced the postponement of the would-be opener against Luis Angel Firpo last week, fielded a shuffled lineup in conditions of high humidity.
The Dyanmo's best chance of the first half fell to Geoff Cameron, who latched onto a decent ball from Kei Kamara only to push the shot across the face of goal.
Play was somewhat stifled in the second half, as rain set in for the remainder of the game.
Alberto Zapata was the driving force behind San Francisco's efforts, constantly testing the Dynamo defense.
Pat Onstad proved invaluable in goal for the Dynamo, denying a determined San Francisco attack on a number of occasions.
San Francisco moved to the top of Group B with their second draw, while Houston went third, ahead only of Firpo, which has yet to play a game.
