Musa evened the match for Dallas (14-7-9) in the 11th minute of stoppage time with his 20th goal of the season. The PK was awarded after Ran Binyamin was fouled by Houston's Duncan McGuire.
Samuel Sarver subbed into the match in the 89th minute and was tagged with a red card late in stoppage time, meaning he'll miss the next match for Dallas.
Houston (13-9-8) had taken a 2-1 lead on a PK goal by Bogusz four minutes into extra time. Bogusz's eighth goal in his first season with the Dynamo came after a foul on Nolan Norris.
Christian Cappis staked Dallas to a 1-0 lead in the 12th minute with his first goal this season after scoring once in 11 appearances last year, his first in the league. Daniel Job, a 21-year-old midfielder notched his first assist in his third MLS match, and defender Bernard Kamungo collected his career-high fifth.
