Soccer Betting Lines

07/05/2009 - Kansas City, KA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Dynamo extended their lead atop Major League Soccer's overall table with a 1-0 win at the Kansas City Wizards on Saturday night.

Kei Kamara scored the game's only goal in the 18th minute to help the Dynamo snap a two-game winless streak. Houston (9-3-4) has now won six of its last eight MLS matches.

The Wizards (5-6-4) have now lost two of their last three league fixtures, all at home.

Kamara's game winner was set up by Mike Chabala, who crossed into the area from the left side after taking a pass from Corey Ashe. Chabala's cross just got over the head of Wizards defender Rauwshan McKenzie to Kamara, who snapped home the header for his fourth goal of the season.

The Dynamo will try to put more of a grip on the Western Conference when they travel to Seattle next Saturday, while the Wizards will aim to get back in the win column when they play at new England the Same day in their next league fixture.
