Toronto and Houston Dynamo have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Major League Soccer.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

It's quite the trip for Houston Dynamo when visiting Toronto as the cities are 2400 kilometers apart.
