Houston Dynamo captured the US Open Cup title by defeating Inter Miami in a dramatic final. The triumph marked a new milestone for the club, reinforcing its status in American soccer history.
Hector Herrera earned his first official trophy in United States soccer with Houston Dynamo. The seasoned midfielder, known for his leadership and technical skill, led the team to a 2-1 victory over Inter Miami at a sold-out venue. Dynamo celebrated a historic win in the oldest competition organized by the American soccer federation, securing the trophy for the second time in the franchise’s history.
Without Lionel Messi, Inter Miami faced challenges in converting their moments into sustained pressure and ultimately couldn’t replicate the high-intensity attacking display seen in recent fixtures. The club had recently reshaped its roster with high-profile signings, signaling a strong push toward immediate success in MLS and cup competitions alike.
With the final result, Herrera added the eighth professional title of his career and joined a distinguished list of Mexican players who have found success in the United States. The Dynamo now focus on maintaining momentum in domestic league play while eyeing a favorable position in postseason qualification. Their current standing sits within the top half of the Western Conference as the team aligns its performance toward the Play-Offs and continued championship contention.
