Gabriel Segal scores twice as Jonathan Bond and Dynamo blank NYCFC 3-0
Gabriel Segal scored twice in the second half and Jonathan Bond posted his fourth clean sheet as the Houston Dynamo cruised to a 3-0 victory over New York City FC on Wednesday night. The Dynamo (5-6-5) took a 1-0 lead in the 26th minute on an own goal by NYCFC midfielder Justin Haak. Houston grabbed a two-goal advantage five minutes into the second half when Segal scored unassisted. It was his first goal in his first start and fifth appearance this season. He matched his goal total in each of the past two seasons when he found the net four minutes into stoppage time. Bond needed to make just one save for his 21st career shutout in his 97th start. Bond had 17 clean sheets in three seasons with the Los Angeles Galaxy prior to joining Houston. Matt Freese saved three shots for NYCFC (7-6-3), which falls to 6-3-1 at home on the season. The Dynamo improve to 2-2-5 on the road. Houston grabs a 3-2-0 series lead in the first meeting between the two teams since 2023 (a 1-0 home win for the Dynamo) and the first in New York since 2019. The Dynamo return home to play Sporting Kansas City on Saturday. NYCFC travels to play Nashville SC on Saturday. ___ AP soccer:

🇺🇸 Pochettino and USMNT explain reasons behind key Gold Cup omissions
The 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup is just around the corner, and the US Men's national team is already making headlines. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino recently announced the USMNT training camp roster in the run-up to the 2025 Gold Cup, with some key names not being selected. Advertisement GOALKEEPERS: Matt Freese, Patrick Schulte, Zack Steffen, Matt Turner DEFENDERS: Max Arfsten, Sergino Dest, Alex Freeman, DeJuan Jones, Mark McKenzie, Tim Ream, Chris Richards, Miles Robinson MIDFIELDERS: Brenden Aaronson, Tyler Adams, Sebastian Berhalter, Johnny Cardoso, Luca de la Torre, Diego Luna, Jack McGlynn, Quinn Sullivan, Malik Tillman, Sean Zawadzki FORWARDS (5): Patrick Agyemang, Folarin Balogun, Damion Downs, Brian White, Haji Wright While the roster included some young names looking to break into the fold moving forward on the back of impressive club performances, the likes of captain Christian Pulisic, Yunus Musah, Antonee Robinson, and Josh Sargent were not included. Advertisement In a statement cited by USMNT insider Doug McIntyre, sporting director Matt Crocker lived the veil on the request by Pulisic and his camp to step back from national team duties this summer on account of match load and very little break. The former Borussia Dortmund wunderkind logged 4,162 minutes for Italian giants AC Milan and the US national team this season, the most of any American player in the pool. As for Musah, the Milan midfielder withdrew from the roster citing personal reasons, while Sargent's omission from the 27-man list is said to have come down to 'a football decision.' Whether or not this is a sign from Pochettino and his coaching team that the door is open regardless of status remains to be seen, but this potential shakeup could offer further answers one way or another moving forward. 📸 Marco Luzzani - 2025 Getty Images
