Broadcast Information

Wondo Eyeing Another SJ Milestone
With a nod in the starting XI against Houston, forward
Chris Wondolowski
will start in his 200th career game with the Earthquakes. The Quakes captain would join Ramiro Corrales (228 starts) as the only players in team history to reach the milestone.
Fresh Faces
Since their last meeting on July 31, both the Dynamo and Earthquakes have added players to their rosters. Houston signed Costa Rican defender Keyner Brown and Honduran midfielder Jose Escalante on the final day of the transfer window, while San Jose picked up Swedish-Eritrean striker
Henok Goitom
and Salvadoran midfielder
Darwin Ceren
. Goitom could make his MLS debut on Friday.
Marvell Nearing Big Milestone
With 90 minutes played against Houston, defender
Marvell Wynne
would reach 25,000 career minutes in MLS. Wynne would become just the 28th all-time player and 10th active player in league history to reach the milestone.
Looking to Take Season Series
With a win over Houston on Friday, San Jose would go undefeated against the Lone Star club with a 2-0-1 record this season. The Quakes have never gone unbeaten against the Dynamo three times in one season and the last time they did it against any Western Conference foe was vs. Seattle in 2015 (2-0-1).
Extending the Streak
Currently riding a five-game unbeaten streak, a win or draw on Friday night would give San Jose a six-game streak for the first time since 2013.
