Houston DynamoBack-to-back assists
McGlynn assisted once to go with four crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-0 win against New England Revolution.
Analysis: McGlynn was Houston's most creative presence in Saturday's 2-0 win over New England, delivering the corner from the left side in the 63rd minute that Agustin Resch powered home for the decisive second goal, also registering four crosses, three corners and four chances created across his 90 minutes. The midfielder has now registered one assist and four chances created in back-to-back MLS appearances, establishing himself as the primary creative outlet in a Dynamo side that has found consistency and momentum at the right time of the Western Conference season.
Sets up opener
McGlynn assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-0 win against Sporting Kansas City.
Analysis: McGlynn took only one shot in the game but was crucial in possession and the build up. With Houston gaining a man advantage from the start of the second half, he underlined his worth in possession, completing 81 accurate passes and 11 long balls while creating four chances, including the assist for Guilherme's opener. The midfielder has created 22 chances across his last five starts, with two assists to his name during that period.
Seven crosses Wednesday
McGlynn recorded two shots (zero on goal), seven crosses (three accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus D.C. United.
Analysis: McGlynn sent in seven crosses during Wednesday's draw, the midfielder peppered the box throughout the match, but couldn't find friendly heads often enough. It was still a solid showing on the whole as the midfielder got forward well and had a role on set-pieces. McGlynn will need to be more efficient if he wants to make good of this volume.
Assists at LA Galaxy
McGlynn assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and five chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: McGlynn created Guilherme's equalizer in the 41st minute with his third assist in the campaign. The midfielder led Houston with a season-high five chances created during the draw. That was his ninth start in 10 appearances so far.
Scores brace in victory
McGlynn scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 4-1 victory over Los Angeles Football Club. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 49th minute.
Analysis: McGlynn snapped a two-month dry spell without a goal contribution by bagging a brace in Sunday's 4-1 MLS road win at LAFC, first unleashing a left-footed missile from outside the box into the top-right corner in the 25th minute off Lawrence Ennali's layoff, then bending a second past Hugo Lloris in the 55th after Ennali once again picked him out on the left side of the area. The midfielder nearly had a first-half double as well, seeing a near carbon-copy strike of his opener glance off the outside of the post just before the break. McGlynn now sits on two MLS goals and two assists through seven appearances this season.
Back vs Austin
McGlynn generated four crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Austin FC.
Analysis: McGlynn made his return to play after missing the last four matches with a lower body injury. He made an appearance off the bench, playing 35 minutes while creating two chances and four crosses made. Once fully fit, the midfielder will return to the starting XI, having made four starts in the five games played, recording two assists in the process.
