Both the Houston Dynamo and the Seattle Sounders earned their first points of the season with a 1-1 draw on Friday night at Qwest Field. However, the Sounders may regret not claiming the points for a victory at home.<\/p>\n

First Half<\/p>\n

Despite their superior amount of possession, the Sounders could not penetrate the Houston goal in the first half. They did test Houston netminder Tally Hall, who finished with seven saves on the night, but Hall was up for the challenge every time.<\/p>\n

Although they created chances, Seattle lacked the final pass at the right time to mount a really difficult challenge for Hall.<\/p>\n

Because they didn’t apply the finishing blow to Houston, the Texas team gained hope and eventually scored.<\/p>\n

Off a set play, the Dynamo struck in the 42nd. Lovel Palmer’s free kick from distance hit the crossbar and, after pinging around in the the box, the ball fell to Geoff Cameron. He blasted a shot from inside the area. The ball deflected off lunging Seattle defender Jeff Parke and flew into the roof of the net.<\/p>\n

In spite of their best efforts, Seattle could not equalize before the half ended.<\/p>\n

Second Half<\/p>\n

The same story continued for much of the final period. Seattle’s good possession play still didn’t produce a goal.<\/p>\n

Time and again they were turned away. Fredy Montero had the most shots for the squad on the night, but to no avai.
h
When Seattle finally broke through, it was a much to luck as to anything else.<\/p>\n

Steve Zakuani struck for Seattle’s first goal of the season after Erik Friberg’s corner kick was deflected to the back post for a tap-in the 80th.<\/p>\n

Desperate to retain the result, Dynamo players packed the goal area. Seattle’s Kasey Keller directed the squad to move foward.<\/p>\n

However, the draw held. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
