Stuart Holden scored off an assist from newly acquired Cam Weaver two minutes into first half stoppage time as the Houston Dynamo shut out Chivas USA, 1-0, Wednesday at Robertson Stadium in Houston in a battle of the top two teams in Major League Soccer's Western Conference.
The win cuts Chivas' once-mighty lead in the conference standings down to a game difference as Chivas has won two of their last eight games after starting the season 8-1-1 and has not scored a goal against the Dynamo in 645 minutes. They are 2-2-2 on the road this season, 1-4-5 overall against Houston and is 0-4-2 playing in Houston.
The Dynamo, meanwhile, after starting the season 0-1-2, are on a nine-game winning streak (7-0-2), are unbeaten in their last eight overall games against Chivas and haven't given up a goal in 307 minutes.
Chivas is now 8-3-3 with 27 points to lead the conference and remains having the best record in MLS, but Houston is at 7-2-3 with 24 points.
Houston will take on FC Dallas Saturday at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, TX while Chivas is at the defending MLS champion Columbus Crew Sunday.
