HOUSTON -- The Houston Dynamo scored for the first time in a month and won for the first time in nearly two months Saturday, lifting a weight off their collective shoulders. Ricardo Clark scored in the 59th minute and the Houston Dynamo snapped a seven-game winless streak with a 1-0 win over the Philadelphia Union on Saturday night. "We know whats been going on," Houston coach Dominic Kinnear said. "We have been peppered with questions over the last couple weeks about not winning. This is a proud group, and we get a little annoyed by it. ... Any time you win -- whether it is a great win or the teams played poorly and you get a little lucky -- you walk off the field with a little enjoyment out of it." Houston (7-6-5) had not won since beating D.C. United 4-0 on May 8. "Its nice to get one," said Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall, who finished with three saves. "Sometimes it is not pretty in the end. I dont think we finished the game great. You look at it, its three points and we havent had that in a while. We walk away with smiles on our faces." Clark also put an end to Houstons franchise record 388-minute scoreless streak when he headed in Jermaine Taylors cross from the left sideline from 8 yards out. Clark said Taylors service on the goal was right where he needed it to be, and he was trying to make the most of it. "Its three points," Clark said. "At the end of the day, that is all we wanted. We could have finished a couple more chances." Houston had not scored since Warren Creavalles goal at Columbus on June 1. The Dynamos previous record scoreless streak was 273 minutes in May 2007. "It just gives us our confidence and gets us back to our winning ways," Houston forward Giles Barnes said. "It gets us back up the table and puts pressure on everyone on top of us. Obviously, when you start scoring and obviously we had more chances, so the mood was a lot different." Philadelphia (7-6-6) had its five-game unbeaten streak snapped, dropping its first game since losing 5-3 at Montreal on May 25. "Youre going to win some, and youre going to lose some, especially when you try to play in these kind of conditions, third game in eight days, its just tough," Philadelphia coach John Hackworth said. "So, thought our team put out a fantastic effort, just wasnt there tonight." Philadelphias best chance came before halftime when Hall stopped Aaron Wheelers shot from the left box and Conor Caseys rebound attempt went high. Casey said the Union did not establish what they wanted to do, and in the end, they didnt do enough to get a result. "Today just wasnt a very good day in general, but I think the past month weve played pretty consistent," Casey said. "So, just get back to what we were doing and take it from there."Clearance NHL Jerseys . PAUL, Minn. NHL Jerseys Outlet . You can watch the game live on TSN at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt.
