In the 105th minute, the Polish international capitalized on a direct ball from USMNT<\/a> midfielder Jack McGlynn<\/a> to score his first Dynamo goal on the counterattack with a cool finish into the side netting.<\/p>\n

\n Dynamic DP duo<\/p>\n

Bogusz, who arrived for a reported $10 million fee from LIGA MX side Cruz Azul<\/a> this winter, got his first Dynamo goal contribution earlier in the match. He set up fellow offseason DP addition Guilherme<\/a> with a delightful cross for the Brazilian to head home the game’s opening goal.<\/p>\n

With Guilherme setting up Felipe Andrade<\/a>‘s long-range finish for the second Dynamo goal, Houston’s new DP signings played a part in each goal on the night while racking up 1g\/1a apiece.<\/p>\n

“This is what we’re trying to build here. We want guys that can win,” explained head coach Ben Olsen.<\/p>\n

“They win now, have personality, have experience, have been through everything that this crazy game offers, and they understand how to make plays. Again, we’re better in the box, and we’re better in the final third, so that gives you a chance in this league.”<\/p>\n

\n Dynamo at the death<\/p>\n

Only Tom Barlow<\/a> (107′) scored a later winner than Bogusz, the former LAFC<\/a> standout, in MLS history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And courtesy of their fresh faces leading a pair of wins across Houston’s first three matches of the season, the sky remains the limit for a Dynamo team already recording memorable victories while still in the gelling process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We have a lot of nationalities, but I don’t think it’s a problem, you know? Everyone has a different idea of how to play football and I think we can learn from each other,” noted Bogusz. “So I really like it because we have players from Brazil, from Europe, from different parts of the world, and I think we have a very good group.<\/p>\n

“We just need a little bit more time because there is a lot of faces. My feeling is every week we are getting closer, we know each other more, so I’m believing this is going to be good season. We just need the time.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the 105th minute, the Polish international capitalized on a direct ball from USMNT midfielder Jack McGlynn to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":206721,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,844,58,57,80832,70776,59944,9441],"class_list":["post-206720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-dynamo-fc","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news","tag-houvspor-03-14-2026","tag-match-reaction","tag-mateusz-bogusz","tag-sendtonews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=206720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206720\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/206721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=206720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=206720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=206720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
