DaSilva leads Dynamo win

Dynamo 5, Pumas 2

Site: Lauderdale Stadium, Palm Beach, Fla.

Why the Dynamo win: Carolina controlled the tempo and got the ball behind the defense.

Performances worth noting: Miguel DaSilva scored three goals. Dynamo captain Zach Loyd helped control the game, and Aaron Johnson made some big saves.

Also worth noting: The Pumas were disorganized. They had no ballboys, and some jersey numbers didn’t match the roster.

The big play: DaSilva’s third goal, which made it 3-1 before halftime. Eddie Ababio was one-on-one with Pumas goalie Phillip Fisher when Fisher fell down, and Ababio passed to it back to DaSilva in front of a wide-open net.

What they said: “We were more professional than they were.”

— Matt Brown, assistant coach
