Houston Dynamo hold off Vancouver Whitecaps to go top in West

HOUSTON -- Erick Torres scored his MLS-leading eighth goal of the season on a penalty kick to help the Houston Dynamo beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 on Friday night.
Houston moved into first place in the Western Conference with its sixth victory at home. Vancouver had its two-game road winning streak snapped.
Alberth Elis opened the scoring in the 15th minute with his fifth goal. Fellow Honduran Romell Quioto chased down a loose ball at the edge of the area and chipped it across goal to find Elis' head at the far post.
Torres made it 2-0 in the 68th from the penalty spot after Mauro Manotas was knocked down in the area. Torres entered in the 31st minute after Elis left with a leg injury.
Brek Shea headed in Christian Bolanos' free kick in the 85th for Vancouver.
