Houston Dynamo's British contingent leads the way over England's Stoke City
Andrew Driver and Giles Barnes' goals gain momentum for the team heading into MLS competition
It was a night for British goal scorers Wednesday at BBVA Compass Stadium. Fortunately for the Houston Dynamo, it was their British contingent that did the scoring.
In an interesting turn of events, it was English-born Andrew Driver and London native Giles Barnes that provided the goals in a 2-0 Dynamo win over Stoke City to claim the BBVA Compass Dynamo Charities Cup. The damage being done by a pair of England-born players was simply an ironic twist.
“I didn’t realize it until [assistant coach Steve Ralston] came in and said ‘Our British invasion worked out well tonight for us,’” head coach Dominic Kinnear said. “Great goal by Andrew on the free kick and obviously Giles was a good powerful run to score the second goal. Little bit ironic but nice to see those guys get a goal tonight.”
