«Breaking News» Manotas scores 2 as Dynamo ends winless drought

Mauro Manotas scored two goals and Alberth Elis had a goal and an assist Saturday as the Houston Dynamo ended its 10-match winless streak with a 4-1 victory over the visiting Portland Timbers.

The victory was the first for the defending Western Conference champions since a 3-0 triumph over Minnesota on July 7. Houston (8-13-7, 31 points) had gone 0-7-3 since that match.

The Timbers (12-8-8, 44 points) had their three-match winless streak come to an end. Portland had earned two victories and a tie in three matches to move into fifth place in the Western Conference.

Elis scored his 11th goal of the season in the 32nd minute as the Dynamo evened the match 1-1 after an early Timbers goal. The forward has scored in consecutive matches for the first time since May.

Elis had earned a yellow card on Portland defender Zarek Valentin, and on the ensuing free kick, Tomas Martinez fed Elis inside the box and his header rebounded off the right post, past Timbers goalkeeper Steve Clark.

The Dynamo took a 2-1 lead seven minutes later when Manotas slotted home a centering pass from Elis with his right foot. His second goal came in the 71st minute when he scored from just in front of the goal on a swinging right footed volley.

Manotas' two goals gave him 14 on the season and 18 across all competitions. It is the most goals ever from a Dynamo player in a calendar year.

Manotas just missed another goal in the 50th minute when his breakaway shot from just inside the box was high over the crossbar.

Portland took an early 1-0 goal in the ninth minute on an own goal. Portland's Alvas Powell delivered a centering pass from outside the box that rebounded off the leg of Dynamo defender Alejandro Fuenmayor and over the head of goalkeeper Joe Willis.

Fuenmayor made up for his earlier miscue when he scored from just in front of the Portland goal on a set piece in the 81st minute. It was Fuenmayor's third goal of the season.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
