HOUSTON (AP) — Prince Owusu scored his first goal in three months, Sean Johnson had three saves and Toronto FC beat the Houston Dynamo 1-0 Saturday night.

Toronto (10-14-3) has won back-to-back games — both shutouts by Johnson — for the second time this season but the first since the beginning of March.

Owusu headed home a corner kick played by Federico Bernardeschi to give Toronto a 1-0 lead in the 54th minute.

Houston (10-8-7), which had won back-to-back games, had its three-game unbeaten streak snapped.

The Dynamo had 67% possession and outshot Toronto 17-10.
