The Houston Dynamo Academy continued their good form at the Generation adidas Cup in Frisco, Texas on Thursday with a pair of 3-1 wins.
The Academy U-16s began the playoff phase of the GA Cup against Mexican side Monterrey this morning. The Dynamo grabbed the opening goal off a turnover in Monterrey's defensive third. Rene Tello found Wilmer Cabrera, Jr. at the top of the box, and the son of the Dynamo first team head coach curled a shot into the bottom corner.
