The Texas Derby, or El Capitan Clasico, is a soccer rivalry (derby) between Texas's two MLS teams Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas. The two squads play a season series of 4 games (2 at each pitch) with the winner of the season series winning an 18th-century Mountain Howitzer cannon (named El Capitán), which will recognize the best MLS team in the state of Texas during the year.
