In a tightly contested MLS regular season match at Shell Energy Stadium on July 19, 2025, Houston Dynamo FC and Philadelphia Union played to a 1-1 draw. Philadelphia Union opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a goal from Alejandro Bedoya, establishing an early lead. Houston Dynamo FC responded just before halftime, with Jack McGlynn converting a penalty in the 45'+10 minute. The second half remained goalless, despite both teams creating opportunities.
The game was characterized by a high foul count, with Houston Dynamo FC committing 19 fouls and Philadelphia Union 25, leading to 3 and 4 yellow cards respectively. Philadelphia Union's Francis Westfield received a red card in the dying moments of the game (90'+9'). Houston Dynamo FC dominated possession with 60.7%, but Philadelphia Union had more shots (12 vs 11). However, Houston Dynamo FC managed to get more shots on target (3) than Philadelphia Union (2).
The AI's pre-game prediction favored a Philadelphia Union win, which ultimately proved incorrect. The AI model did not expect a balanced game, which was wrong because the result was a draw. Considering the teams' recent form, Houston Dynamo FC has been inconsistent, alternating between wins and losses, while Philadelphia Union has shown better form recently, although they had a couple of losses before winning the two games before this one.
Houston Dynamo FC's previous games show struggles in maintaining consistent performance, with two losses and two wins in their last five games. Philadelphia Union, prior to this match, had secured three wins and suffered two losses in their last five MLS fixtures. Looking back at previous head-to-head encounters, Philadelphia Union has had the upper hand in recent MLS matches against Houston Dynamo FC, although Houston won the most recent match in Houston in 2018.
This draw highlights Houston Dynamo FC's resilience at home, while Philadelphia Union will likely be disappointed to not secure all three points, especially given their higher team rate (0.606 vs Houston's 0.431) and the AI's pre-game prediction. The upcoming matches will be crucial for both teams as they aim to solidify their positions in the MLS standings.
