The Houston Dynamo announced the signing of Brazilian defender Felipe Andrade prior to Wednesday night's Open Cup clash with Phoenix Rising.

Andrade, 22, arrived on loan from Brazil's Fluminense FC and promptly scored the Dynamo's first goal in the 17th minute of a 4-1 victory in Phoenix.

His loan runs through 2025 and includes a purchase option. He had been on loan with MLS NEXT pro side Dynamo 2 since February, recording one assist in six matches.

Andrade made 27 appearances with Fluminense's first team and helped the club claim the 2023 Copa Libertadores title.
