HOUSTON (AP) — Prince Owusu scored two goals in a three-minute span, Jalen Neal added his first goal of the Major League Soccer season and CF Montreal beat the Houston Dynamo 3-1 on Saturday night.Â
Montreal (2-11-5) snapped a five-game winless streak during which the club was outscored 16-6.Â
Owusu nearly lost the ball while fighting off a defender near the penalty spot before he in the 30th minute. Then, on the counterattack in the 32nd, Owusu slipped in front of defender Femi Awodesu and went up high for a header — off an arcing entry played in by Aleksandr Guboglo, the 18-year-old's first assist in MLS — from the centre of the area that made it 2-0.Â
Neal made it 3-0 in the 54th minute. Tom Pearce played a free kick from near the right sideline to the back post, where Neal fought off a defender and then scored on a header from the edge of the six-yard box.Â
OndÅ™ej Lingr scored on a header off a ball-in played by Nicolás Lodeiro in the 64th for Houston (5-8-5).Â
The Dynamo have lost back-to-back games by a score of 3-1 following a four-game unbeaten streak that included three wins.Â
Houston had 56 per cent possession and outshot Montreal 19-8.Â
Jonathan Bond finished with two saves for the Dynamo.Â
Jonathan Sirois stopped one shot for Montreal.Â
The 28-year-old Owusu, in his third MLS season, had his second career multi-goal game and his first of the season.Â
