Guilherme nets pair as Dynamo rally past Fire
Feb 21, 2026; Houston, Texas, USA; Chicago Fire FC forward Hugo Cuypers (9) passes against Houston Dynamo FC forward Lawrence Ennali (11) in the first half at Shell Energy Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Thomas Shea-Imagn Images Guilherme scored twice in his MLS debut, and the Houston Dynamo rallied for a 2-1 win against the visiting Chicago Fire in the season opener for both clubs on Saturday.
The Brazilian, signed as a designated player, was one of several key additions for the Dynamo (1-0-0, 3 points) in the offseason.
Hugo Cuypers scored for the Fire (0-1-0, 0 points).
After managing just two shot attempts, neither on target in the opening half, Houston pushed out of the gates to start the second. Chicago goalkeeper Chris Brady had to be sharp, making stops on Jack McGlynn and Guilherme 30 seconds apart early in the half.
By the 64th minute, the Dynamo had four shot attempts in the half, while the Fire had yet to notch their first.
Guilherme pulled Houston even in the 67th minute. McGlynn sent a feed up through midfield for Guilherme, and the Brazilian cut through the Fire defenders to break in and fire it past Brady’s left arm from the spot.
He then capitalized on a rebound to give the Dynamo a 2-1 lead in the 78th minute. Brady came off his line and stretched his arm to stop Ezequiel Ponce’s attempt from the middle of the box, but he couldn’t hold it and the ball rolled to the left, and Guilherme was first to it to deposit into the open net.
Chicago dominated possession early in the first half, with 68 percent of the touches through the first 16 minutes but struggled to take advantage of its control in play.
The visitors had their first quality chance in the 18th minute when Maren Haile-Selassie was on the back side to receive a cross from Anton Saletros and put it on target, but goalkeeper Jonathan Bond got over to get in front of the shot.
The Fire finally converted in the 31st minute. A back pass by Houston’s Mateusz Bogusz rolled behind his defenders, and Cuypers retrieved it and brought it to just above the six-yard box before chipping it over Bond’s left arm for a 1-0 lead.

Dallas hunting for first win at Red Bulls in 20 years
Apr 22, 2026; Frisco, Texas, USA; FC Dallas forward Petar Musa (9) brings the ball to the Minnesota United FC net during the second half at Toyota Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-Imagn Images FC Dallas are winless in their past 11 visits to the New York Red Bulls across all competitions. The skid dates back nearly two decades.
The Red Bulls rarely conceded goals in those matchups and hope to clamp down defensively Saturday night in Harrison, N.J., especially after their most recent MLS home game.
The Red Bulls are 9-0-2 at home against Dallas since May 24, 2006. The first 10 meetings were MLS regular-season games, and last year the Red Bulls earned a penalty kick win in U.S. Open Competition on May 21.
Six of those games were shutouts and New York would certainly welcome a blanking after blowing a pair of two-goal leads and settling for a 4-4 tie against visiting D.C. United two weeks ago. New York (3-4-3, 12 points) followed up its disappointing defensive showing with last Saturday’s 2-0 loss at Cincinnati, when it conceded two goals in the final 10 minutes of the first half and dropped to 1-4-3 after winning their first two matches.
New York also is hoping to improve defensively after allowing three goals off corner kicks during a 3-1 loss to New York City FC in Wednesday’s 3-1 loss in a U.S. Open Cup contest.
“It’s something that we have to continue to work on,” New York coach Michael Bradley said about the defense. “Obviously, the makeup of our team from a physical profile standpoint means that it’s an area where on some nights we’re going to be really challenged.”
Besides trying to get its first road win over the Red Bulls in 20 years, Dallas (3-3-4, 13 points) is attempting to halt a four-match winless skid. Since scoring four goals apiece in consecutive wins over Houston and D.C. United, Dallas has scored four times and gone 0-2-2.
Last Saturday, Dallas took a 2-1 loss at Seattle, marking the fifth time it was held to one goal or fewer. Nolan Norris scored but his goal wasn’t enough after Dallas trailed by two through the opening 30 minutes.
“Obviously disappointed about the result, but I thought we played pretty well, and I think we’re going to regret seeing the couple moments that led to their goals,” Dallas coach Eric Quill said. “Those moments are fixable.”
Dallas forward Petar Musa is tied for the league lead with nine goals, while teenager Julian Hall paces New York with six goals.
