The Dynamo have had two preseason games so far: January 25th vs. HBU, Dynamo win 2-0 https://www.houstondynamo.com/post/...ston-baptist-university-open-preseason-action This looks to have been more of a warm-up, throw guys out.

Goals: HOU - Tomas Martinez (Adam Lundkvist) - 23rd min HOU - Mauro Manotas (Maynor Figueroa) - 37th min HOU - Michael Salazar - 93rd min HOU - Michael Salazar - 111th min HOU - Tommy McNamara (PK) - 118th min Lineups: Houston Dynamo starting lineup: Marko Maric -- Adam Lundkvist, Maynor Figueroa, Kiki Struna, Jose Bizama -- Matias Vera, Boniek Garcia -- Tomas Martinez -- Memo Rodriguez, Mauro Manotas, Alberth Elis (23' Christian Ramirez) Houston Dynamo (30th min): Marko Maric -- Adam Lundkvist, Maynor Figueroa, Kiki Struna, Jose Bizama -- Matias Vera, Boniek Garcia -- Tomas Martinez (60' Niko Hansen) -- Memo Rodriguez, Mauro Manotas, Christian Ramirez Houston Dynamo (60th min): Cody Cropper -- Andrew Samuels, Alejandro Fuenmayor, Victor Cabrera (65' Sam Junqua), Zarek Valentin -- Darwin Ceren, Isidro Martinez, Tommy McNamara -- Niko Hansen, Christian Ramirez, Nico Lemoine Houston Dynamo (90th min): Michael Nelson -- Andrew Samuels, Alejandro Fuenmayor, Sam Junqua, Zarek Valentin -- Darwin Ceren, Josh Hallenberger, Isidro Martinez -- Tommy McNamara, Michael Salazar, Nico Lemoine (Juan Carlos Obregon)
Not much to talk about on the RGVFC game. Elis straight into the A squad. Quintero’s absence makes it hard to tell where Memo and Martinez are in the pecking order. Ramirez still not getting an A squad look. Cropper and Nelson swap. Looks like Junqua got run out in the CB role. Andrew Samuels, Isidro Martinez, Nico Lemoine, Josh Hallenberger and Juan Carlos Obregon are the non-first team players who saw time.
