A brace, and Mateusz Bogusz takes the afternoon — 8.11
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Mateusz Bogusz provided it, and the 8.11 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Houston Dynamo supporters have found a favourite in Justin Ellis
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Justin Ellis has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
