Sounders’ Jaqua delivers 1-1 tie at Dynamo

HOUSTON — Nate Jaqua scored for in the 70th minute to give Seattle a point in Houston and move the Sounders into a tie for third place in the Western Conference with a 1-1 draw against the Dynamo on Sunday night.

Geoff Cameron scored his first goal of the season in the 36th, but the Dynamo couldn’t hold off their former teammate. Jaqua made 29 appearances for the Dynamo before he was taken by Seattle in the expansion draft.

Houston (11-6-7) extended its unbeaten streak to three and regained sole possession of the MLS lead over Columbus by a point. The Dynamo also extended their lead over Los Angeles in the West to five points.

Seattle (8-6-9) is even with Chivas USA at 33 points.

Cameron scored on Brad Davis’s direct kick from 35 yards out, heading the ball in from the top of the box.

Jaqua tied the score after taking a cross from Steve Zakuani and hitting it into the right side for his first goal since scoring two against Colorado on June 28.
