City Stymied In Goalless Draw In Houston

St. Louis City SC returned to MLS play on a humid Saturday evening in Texas, taking on the Houston Dynamo for the third time this calendar year. The third meeting between the two teams is the first in MLS league play, with the first two games being the two-legged Concacaf Champions Cup first round. City won 2-1 over the Dynamo at CITY PARK but lost 1-0 at Shell Energy Field in Houston, and were bounced out of the competition by the away goals tiebreaker. CIty striker Joao Klauss had five shots, but none of them on target.
