Revolution 3, Dynamo 0
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Steve Ralston and Adam Cristman scored first-half goals Saturday as New England opened the season with a shutout win over Houston in a rematch of the last two MLS Cup finals, both won by Houston.
Sainey Nyassi scored in stoppage time and Matt Reis earned the shutout as the Revolution extended its regular-season unbeaten streak over Houston to five matches (2-0-3). The Dynamo, though, beat New England 2-1 in last year’s championship match and 4-3 on penalty kicks after a 1-1 tie in 2006.
