Detroit City FC’s surprise win over Houston Dynamo is a ‘storybook ending’

Alex Wright had to go out of his way to watch the biggest victory in his club’s history with other Detroit City FC staff and fans.

Wright, one of the founding members of Detroit City FC when it was formed in 2012, watched the first 90 minutes of DCFC’s US Open Cup round of 16 match against defending champion Houston Dynamo, a team of the MLS, at home while he put his young children to bed.

But after Le Rouge, who play in the second division USL Championship, tied the game 3-3 to force overtime, Wright rushed to the team’s headquarters in Hamtramck after putting his children to bed to watch. with others, living and dying with every kick.
