Quiet again Saturday

Foster had one clearance in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Minnesota United.

Analysis: Foster got off to an ideal start when he found the net on his full debut at Minnesota, yet his attacking output has dropped off in the three games since. The forward has been limited to one shot and one chance created over that run. The South Africa international is still settling in after arriving on loan from Burnley, and he could be under pressure to produce more if the trend continues.

Scores first Houston goal

Foster scored a goal in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Minnesota United.

Analysis: The South African striker made his first start with the Dynamo and made his presence felt instantly. A player with tons of experience in the international stage and the Premier League, Foster should remain in the Dynamo's XI as long as he stays healthy.
