HOUSTON (AP) -- Brian Mullan had a goal and an assist to help the Houston Dynamo beat Real Salt Lake 2-1 on Saturday night.
Alejandro Moreno also scored for Houston (6-3-3).
After Real goalkeeper Scott Garlick stopped Ronald Cerritos' penalty kick in the 36th minute, Mullan scored off the rebound to give Houston a 1-0 lead. In the 83rd minute, Mullan set up Alejandro Moreno's goal with a crossing pass.
