Houston DynamoControls midfield in win
Herrera had two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Sporting Kansas City.
Analysis: Herrera did not add a goal contribution to his name but impressed on both sides of the ball. With his side playing a man up from the start of the second half, he dictated play through the midfield and set a new season high with 104 accurate passes and seven accurate long balls. In addition to that midfield control, he remained offensively involved, taking two shots, one of which was cleared off the line, and creating one big chance, while making three tackles defensively. Herrera continues to enjoy a strong run of form and playing time, with this his fourth straight start after having the same number of starts through the opening 12 games. Across those four games, he has taken four shots, created three chances, and added five tackles, one interception and two clearances on the defensive end.
Scores from midfield
Herrera scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against D.C. United.
Analysis: Herrera took two shots and put a single on goal during Wednesday's draw, but that was enough for him to score and earn the point. The midfielder isn't a huge goal threat all the time, but he made the most of his chance during Wednesday's clash. Herrera will likely remain a consistent option in the middle of the park, even if he's not scoring every match.
Creates five chances
Herrera had one shot (zero on goal) and five chances created in Wednesday's 3-0 loss versus Real Salt Lake.
Analysis: Herrera created the Dynamo's most chances Wednesday. Even though he scored at Orlando on April 18, he has not been rewarded with increased playing time, but rather a continuation of his usual role.
