Dynamo play the Union to a 1-1 draw on Jack McGlynn's penalty kick against his former club
The penalty kick was awarded after McGlynn's free kick was blocked by Jesús Bueno's arm. McGlynn's stutter step sent goalkeeper Andrew Rick diving to his right for a shot into the left side of the net.
Alejandro Bedoya scored his first goal of the season in the 15th minute for Philadelphia.
Houston (7-11-6) bounced back after a 3-0 home loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps on Wednesday. The Dynamo hold a 5-3-1 home record versus the Union.
Philadelphia (14-5-5) entered atop the Eastern Conference standings with 46 points. The Union have two wins, three losses and a tie in their last six matches.
It was McGlynn's first matchup versus his former side after Philadelphia traded him to Houston in a cash-for-player trade ahead of the 2025 season. McGlynn made his MLS debut in 2021 and his U.S. national team debut in January 2024. He was part of last year's U.S. Olympic team.
Houston coach Ben Olsen remains one victory away from 150 career MLS regular-season wins. Olsen ranks third among active MLS coaches in career wins and seventh all-time.

USOPC CEO Sarah Hirshland told The Associated Press on Monday that a letter she and chair Gene Sykes sent to members of Congress last week was intended to restart a conversation about the SCORE Act, which currently calls for schools to sponsor at least 16 teams.
