Pochettino, Domínguez score, Austin FC beats Dynamo 3-2

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Tomás Pochettino and Cecilio Domínguez each scored to help expansion Austin FC beat the 10-man Houston Dynamo 3-2 on Wednesday night.

Austin (4-8-4) entered with just 10 goals this season — going scoreless in 10 of its opening 15 matches. Houston (3-5-9) has won just one of its last 14 matches against MLS expansion teams dating to 2012.

Austin took a 1-0 lead in the seventh minute when Pochettino’s shot went off the post and deflected off Houston defender Zarek Valentin for an own goal. Pochettino gave Austin a 2-1 lead in the 45th by sending home a loose ball in front of the net.

Domínguez made it 3-1 in the 56th, heading home Diego Fagundez’s cross.

Houston's Darwin Cerén received a straight red card in the 20th minute for a hard foul on Sebastian Berhalter.
