What happened: Forward Lyle Foster made his first appearance for the Houston Dynamo in a 2-0 defeat. The recent arrival from Burnley took the field as the club's new number nine.

Why it matters: Houston acquired the Soweto native on loan to provide an attacking spark down the stretch. His pace adds a different dynamic to the roster as the club finalizes its rotation for the MLS playoff chase.

What to watch: Foster will look to earn a spot in the starting lineup as Houston continues its regular-season schedule.
