The Houston Dynamo are rolling under first-year coach Tab Ramos with consecutive three-goal victories, and that means there's plenty of Orange scattered across the roster in Week 9 of the Team of the Week presented by Audi.


Ariel Lassiter hit a brace off the bench in his first Dynamo appearance, and Darwin Quintero opened the scoring in a 3-0 win over Minnesota United, his former club, helping both strikers earn places in the starting XI. Ramos also claimed the coaching plaudits and Alberth Elis made the bench for his pair of assists after coming on as a substitute.


Elsewhere, the Montreal Impact, D.C. United and LA Galaxy each got multiple nods on the squad for their respective one-goal wins.


In this revised and condensed 2020 MLS regular season schedule, "Week 9" consists of games played on Tuesday, Sept. 1 and Wednesday, Sept. 2.


Team of the Week (4-3-3, right to left): Clement Diop (MTL) - Rudy Camacho (MTL), Donovan Pines (DC), Kendall Waston (CIN), Justen Glad (RSL) - Gerso (SKC), Joe Corona (LA), Cristian Pavon (LA) - Darwin Quintero (HOU), Ariel Lassiter (HOU), Diego Rossi (LAFC)
