Giles Barnes scored the only goal of the match, capitalizing on an LA tragedy. Mark Sherrod's dogged work paid off when he intercept a throw-in to Galaxy keeper Jaime Penedo. With Barnes following up, Sherrod made the easy pass and the he picked his corner to put his team up 1-0.

Houston moved to 6-5-2 on the season, while LA limps along with a disappointing 2-4-3 record.
