Amine Bassi opened the scoring from the penalty kick with Hector Herrera adding a second at the end

Houston Dynamo secured a much needed 2-0 win over Austin FC at Shell Energy Stadium on Saturday night.

New signing Amine Bassi got off to flying start in his debut for the team as he slotted home a 71st minute penalty kick.

Star Player Hector Herrera finished the game off after an elegant finish in the 86th minute put the game beyond Austin.

“Héctor was our Internal man of the match,” said head-coach Ben Olsen after the game.

Olsen also praised Artur and Bassi for his first outing with the team. He also emphasized the importance of the back four, who in his eyes, were instrumental to the success.

“It’s great all around. Defensively, we don’t tout those guys enough. I thought Teenage Hadebe was really good and Ethan Bartlow had his best game,” said Olsen.

“So I’m proud of those guys to keep a high-scoring team off the board.”

“For Héctor to score a goal and to get on the board and also Bassi is a big deal. One out of the run of play, another a set-piece PK. So all in all, good night. We’re going to enjoy it because it’s our first one and it’s Nice to get that monkey off our back and then get back to work and hopefully get better.”
