A fifth consecutive loss for Houston Dynamo was more of the same on Sunday afternoon at BBVA Compass Stadium.

Houston held a 15-8 shot advantage but could only put two off their fifteen shots on target. This sort of terrible finishing has plagued the club throughout their run of poor form.

Houston must find a way to begin testing the opposing keepers in order to turn the tide of a season that is quickly heading toward leaving the club out of the playoffs.

To make matters worse in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Colorado, the only goal conceded followed a questionable penalty. Jermaine Taylor was whistled just inside the area in the 7th minute allowing Colorado the opportunity twelve yards which Vicente Sanchez converted.

As the month of April comes to a close Houston (1-1-6) find themselves ninth in the Eastern Conference just one point ahead of last-placed Philadelphia Union (0-3-5) and 9 points out of a playoff spot.

Sporting Kansas City (6-3-0) remain atop the East with 21 points. In the West Real Salt Lake (6-2-1) still leads with 20 points.

Dominic Kinnear's side will hope that the month of May will bring better days. Houston opens the month on Sunday the 5th as they travel to face LA Galaxy (4-1-3). The two-time defending MLS Cup winners, LA have beaten Houston Dynamo in the two most recent MLS Cup Finals.
