The Houston Dynamo earned its ticket to the final of the US Open Cup after beating Real Salt Lake 3-1, so the team led by Mexican international Héctor Herrera will clash for the tournament throne on September 27 with Inter Miami Leo Messi.
Houston's first goal was precisely from 'HH', who took advantage of a bad clearance by the opponent to score at will in added time of the initial period.
However, the visit equalized in the complementary game and the match had to go into extra time, where Adalberto Carrasquilla (105') and Luis Alberto Caicedo (120'+5') were in charge of unleashing happiness at Shell Energy Stadium.
33 years old, Herrera has more than one hundred games with El Tri and spent most of his career at Porto (2013-2019) and Atlético de Madrid (2019-2022).
In the standings of the Oteste Conference of Major League Soccer, Dynamo is sixth with 32 points. For its part, Inter is last in the East with just 18.
The squad led by Messi and the ex-azulgranas too Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba won last night on penalties to Cincinnati FC after both teams tied three goals apiece.
Both Inter Miami and the Houston Dynamo already secured their respective presences in the first edition of the Concacaf Champions Cup, to be played in 2024.
