DeAndre Yedlin, on the counter-attack, raced to the edge of the penalty box and, as a pair of defenders converged, tapped a pass to Gozo from a finish from the center of the area in the to make it 2-0. Gozo later ran onto a long ball played ahead by Stijn Spierings on the left side and then beat goalkeeper Jonathan Bond with a shot inside the back post to cap the scoring.

The Dynamo (6-6-0) had won back-to-back games and four of their last five.

Cabral had his second shutout this season for RSL (7-4-1).
