D.C. United and Houston Dynamo battled to a 1-1 draw in their post-World Cup opener, with Tai Baribo stunningly equalizing in the 78th minute with a close-range header.

Despite outshooting D.C. 20-9 and landing five shots on target, Houston’s goalkeeper Jonathan Bond didn’t need to make a save — a testament to D.C.’s defensive resilience and Sean Johnson’s four crucial stops. A tightly contested, high-pressure match ended in a split of points as both teams regroup for the season’s next chapter.
