Agada, acquired in a trade with Minnesota in April, opened the scoring with his first goal for RSL. Agada’s header, off a corner kick played in by Pablo Ruiz, was blocked by defender Franco Escobar but Agada — off the rebound — bounced in a half-volley from the center of the area.
Jonathan Bond stopped for shots for the Dynamo. Houston (7-10-5) had won back-to-back games for just the second time this season.
