The Houston Dynamo took a 2-1 loss at home tonight to San Jose. Brazilian Geovanni made his first MLS start for the Earthquakes and rewarded his coach with a goal and an assist. Brad Davis scored for the Dynamo off of an assist from hard-working Brian Mullan.

Brian Ching, who is working his way back from a calf injury, entered the game in the 82nd minute as the Dynamo worked feverishly to equalized the score.
