FRISCO, Texas (STATS) - No matter who wears the orange Dynamo
jersey, the result stays the same.

Cam Weaver, playing for the injured Brian Ching, scored two
goals to lead the Houston Dynamo to a 3-1 victory over FC Dallas
on Saturday night, extending their unbeaten streak to 10 games.

"When one players steps out another steps in," said Weaver.
"When you have that depth it shows."

Weaver, acquired from San Jose on Tuesday, has two goals and an
assist in two games for Houston. Ching was Houston's leading
scorer the last three seasons and missed his second straight MLS
game with a left hamstring strain he suffered while with the
U.S. National Team on June 2nd.

Richard Mulrooney also scored for the Dynamo (8-2-3), who won
their fifth straight and moved into a tie with idle Chivas USA
atop the Western Conference. Chivas plays at Columbus on Sunday.

FC Dallas (2-7-4) saw its four-game unbeaten streak snapped
despite outshooting Houston 14-11.

In the 63rd minute, Weaver notched his first career multigoal
game by converting a right-footed shot into the right corner
from 12 yards to stretch Houston's lead to 3-0.

He scored the game's first goal in the 13th minute from the top
of the goalie's box. Brian Mullan setup the score from outside
the penalty box, where he sent a cross to a streaking Weaver.
Despite being tangled with Dallas defender Drew Moor, Weaver
managed to knock the ball into the center of the net.

"His production has been great - two goals in two games and he's
thrown in an assist," Houston coach Dominic Kinnear said of
Weaver. "He's always around the box and attacks the ball well.
He's aggressive from 10-12 yards in. So far so good."

Weaver would have had a hat trick if he could have converted in
the 55th minute with two shots on goal in less than 5 seconds,
but Dallas goalkeeper Ray Burse deflected Weaver's header and
then batted away Weaver's rebound shot while still lying on the
ground.

"I wish I had that one back," Weaver admitted. "If I get an
opportunity like that I'm going to nail that, especially as a
striker."

Mulrooney scored the other Houston goal in the 37th minute for
his first goal of the year. He played in place of midfielder
Ricardo Clark, who is with the U.S. National Team for the
Confederations Cup in South Africa.

"Come the summer injuries, suspensions and callups are going to
happen, you know you're going to be missing players and having
this kind of depth is priceless," Mulrooney said.

Moor scored in the 67th minute with a header from close range.
It was the first goal allowed by the Dynamo in 373 minutes since
a 3-1 win over San Jose on May 23.

"It's tough to give up an early goal and win," Moor said. "The
goal seemed to give us a little bit of life for the final 15
minutes but it might have been too little too late."]]></description>

Houston (7-2-3) at FC Dallas (2-6-4), 8:30 p.m. EDT

The Houston Dynamo left their first match against FC Dallas with
a three-game winning streak and their chief rivals in disarray.

While Dallas has started to turn itself around, the Dynamo
aren't showing any signs of cooling off.

Houston brings a nine-game unbeaten streak and four-game winning
streak into Pizza Hut Park on Saturday, but it'll face a Dallas
squad that hasn't lost in more than a month.

The Dynamo (7-2-3) didn't get off to a fast start as they
attempted to move past their stunning exit from the Western
Conference semifinals last fall, going 0-2-2 in their first four
matches. Houston compiled the best record in the West last
season, only to fall in the first round of the playoffs.

Houston, though, has certainly put its subpar start behind it.
After a scoreless tie with New York on April 11, the Dynamo won
three straight from April 19-May 9 - beating FC Dallas 1-0 to
close that stretch - tied New York 1-all May 16 and won the next
four games.

Stuart Holden scored his fourth goal of the season in first-half
injury time Wednesday to lift Houston past league-leading Chivas
USA 1-0.

The Dynamo haven't allowed a goal in 307 minutes, the
fourth-longest such streak in MLS this season.

"I try not to think about it too much. You can't sit there and
think about it too much or rest on it because there's games
coming fast. You turn around and on Saturday, boom, you've got
another big one; a big rivalry against Dallas," defender Andrew
Hainault said.

"We've done well, we've been on a great run here, and we have to
just keep doing what we are doing as long as possible."

Dallas (2-6-4) had dropped three straight after last month's
loss to Houston and appeared to be going nowhere in the
competitive West.

However, the club has started to show signs of life in going
1-0-3 in the past four games, one of which was a 3-0 road win
over East-leading Chicago. Dallas followed that up by playing to
a 2-all draw with San Jose on Sunday as a late Kenny Cooper goal
gave it the tie.

"I am disappointed we didn't get the win. I think every coach
should go into a home game thinking that we are better," coach
Schellas Hyndman said. "We have been improving and we were going
for the three points, and we had that in the first half. In the
second half, we just didn't really connect a lot with the
passes. ... But, I am happy to come away with a point especially
when you are losing 2-1 with six minutes left."

Cooper has six goals but hasn't gotten much help, as Dallas has
only 14 goals this season - eight in six games at home. Finding
the back of the net against Houston won't be easy either, as the
Dynamo have allowed a league-low seven goals in their 12
matches.

Houston, however, has also struggled offensively, with its 16
goals placing it in the middle of the MLS pack. The Dynamo will
be hurt up front Saturday by the absence of Brian Ching, who's
tied with Holden for the team lead in goals.

Ching expects to miss at least another week while nursing a
hamstring injury suffered last week while playing with the U.S.
national team.

Houston is 6-1-5 all-time against Dallas.]]></description>
