Wednesday’s 4-0 win at D.C. United matched the largest road win in club history, a 4-0 road triumph at Chicago on July 12, 2007. The win also continued Houston’s best ten-game start (6-2-2; 20 points) to a season in club history.
In addition to the team achieving a six-point road trip, several players reached significant career milestones.
Will Bruin became the first player in Dynamo history to score two goals and deliver two assists in a single game. The Dynamo have played over 300 games in all competitions in their history, and Bruin is the first to record two goals and two assists in a single game.
According to the Peter Hirdt of the Elias Sports Bureau, Bruin is the first MLS player to accomplish the feat since MLS all-time scoring leader Jeff Cunningham pulled it off in 1999.
Bruin has now scored nine goals in nine career games against D.C. United (including playoffs), including a hat trick in 2011, a two-goal performance last April, and another two-goal outing on Wednesday night.
It was also Bruin’s first two-assist game in his three-year career.
Bruin now has 25 career goals in all competitions.
