HOUSTON — Corey Baird and Ibrahim Aliyu each scored, Steve Clark earned his MLS-leading 11th clean sheet of the season, and the Houston Dynamo beat the Columbus Crew 2-0. Houston (11-10-5) is unbeaten at 6-0-3 in its last nine home matches against the Crew. Columbus (12-8-6) was held scoreless for the second time this season.

Aliyu scored on a breakaway in the 90th minute. He outran the defense for Héctor Herrera's through ball and scored from a difficult angle. Herrera has 13 assists this season.
