The 20-year-old winger joined the team in May and made his debut on May 8 in the 2-1 victory over Real Monarchs.
Dynamo 2 forced five saves from Rapids goalkeeper Zackory Campagnolo and the bulk of the chances created came from Dynamo Academy alum Sebastian Rodriguez, who led the team with three chances created. Captain Diego Gonzalez led the team with 11 crosses and finished with two shots from inside the box. Defender Kieran Sargeant will miss Sunday’s game following his ejection for dissent against the Rapids on Saturday.
St. Louis looks to snap a three-game losing streak on Sunday following their 3-2 loss to Ventura County FC on Friday, Aug. 2.
