Amine Bassi scored on a penalty kick in the 71st minute to break a scoreless tie and lead the Houston Dynamo to a 2-0 victory over Austin FC on Saturday night. Bassi’s goal came after Austin’s Adam Lundkvist was charged with a hand-ball foul. Héctor Herrera took a pass from Griffin Dorsey and added an insurance goal in the 86th minute. Houston has managed at least two points through its first three matches in every season but 2009, when it started 0-2-1. The Dynamo outshot Austin 15-13 with a 7-5 edge in shots on goal.
