He also emphasized the importance of the back four, who in his eyes, were instrumental to the success.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s great all around. Defensively, we don&#8217;t tout those guys enough. I thought Teenage Hadebe was really good and Ethan Bartlow had his best game,&#8221; said Olsen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I\u2019m proud of those guys to keep a high-scoring team off the board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For H\u00e9ctor 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&#8217;re going to enjoy it because it&#8217;s our first one and it&#8217;s Nice to get that monkey off our back and then get back to work and hopefully get better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  id=\"_ytid_99385\"  width=\"800\" height=\"450\"  data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"450\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zwMWCK_p96o?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;controls=1&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"YouTube player\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/zwMWCK_p96o\/maxresdefault.jpg\" title=\"\"><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Houston Dynamo secured a much needed 2-0 win over Austin FC at Shell Energy Stadium on Saturday night.
