One year ago, it was a 2-0 Houston win at Livestrong Sporting Park in the Eastern Conference Championship that propelled the club to a third MLS Cup appearance. “It would be better if it was 0-0 or 2-0 our way, right? I wouldn’t use [disastrous],” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “There have been many teams that have come back from this situation in the league. ... Like I said, it’s halftime, so we’re getting ready for our home game.” ... Sporting were held to just a single shot on goal in the first leg, which matched their regular season-low set in their next-to-last league game, a scoreless draw at New York on Oct. 20. “I thought they did a very good job in the first half, every time we won the ball, of just basically getting numbers around us, and either they won the ball or they fouled us,” Vermes said. “They broke the rhythm of the game quickly, and that way they always got 11 players behind the ball, slowed the game down for them every time we won it.” ... Sporting will need to use their homefield advantage -- and score three goals, something they did just three times, last on July 4 at Montreal. "When you have a final here, like we did last year for the Eastern Conference championship, we weren’t ready yet. Players, staff –- we just weren’t ready yet to undertake that game. We did it in the Open Cup here at home, and I think that experience is going to lend us throughout the playoffs," said Vermes. ... With Roger Espinoza back in the lineup, Vermes had nearly his entire first-choice team available. He brought on Peterson Joseph and Dom Dwyer for two substitutions; both making their MLS Cup Playoffs debuts, Joseph played 263 minutes in the regular season while Dwyer played just four. Bobby Convey also came on; he played just two minutes over the final 11 league matches. The first leg result came as the Dynamo opened a two-game series in the MLS Cup Playoffs at home for the first time. Each one of the first five conference semifinal series were started on the road; the Dynamo advanced in four. "We knew Kansas City was going to come out and make it difficult for us and I don’t think that will change come Wednesday," said Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear. "As the cliché goes, it is halftime and that’s the complete truth. For all of our efforts, in return we get to go to a difficult place to play against the team we played today." ... Will Bruin scored his third goal in two MLS Cup Playoffs games for the Dynamo, matching the club’s single-season mark for goals in a single postseason, when Brian Ching scored three times in the Dynamo’s 2006 championship season. ... “Give Will Bruin a ton of credit. It was a heads-up play to keep the play alive and knock it to Adam [Moffat] and obviously it was a fantastic strike by Adam," Kinnear said. "Then the second goal was just a great play by Calen Carr to wiggle himself free and Will’s finish is a good finish. It’s not an easy one. You need that second goal and it did give us a little cushion.” ... Bruin has 15 goals in all competitions for Houston this season, a new club record. ... Adam Moffat also came through with his first career playoff goal, in his sixth game in the MLS postseason, to send Dynamo on their way. “Anytime you get a goal it gives you a lift, but the way he scored it made us feel like it was going to be a good day for us and put the pressure on them,” forward Calen Carr said. “From there we responded well, and continued to attack … and we were rewarded with a second goal.” ... The Dynamo extended their home undefeated streak to 29 games across all competitions with the win against Sporting, and have not yet lost a competitive match in their new BBVA Compass Stadium home. “It’s a weird feeling when it is two legs. Usually, when you win a game, you have your award right there. Nothing is done. ... I know they are feeling they are still in the game," said Moffat.

A goal in each half by forward Will Bruin gave the Houston Dynamo the victory against the Chicago Fire in the Eastern Conference Knockout Round match at Toyota Park. It was the first road win in more than three months for the reigning Eastern Conference champions. Bruin's first goal came on a free near-post header in the 12th minute on a corner kick from teammate Brad Davis, getting free in the heart of the penalty area and bouncing a deflected shot past Chicago goalkeeper Sean Johnson. Then, just 19 seconds after halftime, Bruin got his second on a blistering diagonal shot from inside the area after he was sprung by former Fire forward Calen Carr on the heels of a costly Chicago turnover. The Fire pulled a goal back in the 83rd minute when he ran onto a ball from Patrick Nyarko from the left flank and sent an angled shot off the far post and into the goal. But the rest of the match was an exercise in game management by the Dynamo, to advance into the semifinal series.

CAUTIONS Bonjour 71, Lee 72

The LA Galaxy's title defense moved on after a stirring comeback against visiting Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Vancouver went ahead after just 182 seconds through rookie Darren Mattocks' finish, after carved out a yard of space in the area to finish a pass from Matt Watson. The Whitecaps' bunker defense then repeatedly thwarted LA's attack until the home side hit with two quick goals midway through the second half. LA outshot Vancouver, 23-9, but put only seven on target, and Whitecaps goalkeeper Brad Knighton was superb all night, his best save on a David Beckham free kick headed inside the left post just before halftime. But the equalizer came in the 69th minute. Beckham played a short corner to Juninho, who found Magee sneaking alone into the box and set him up perfectly for a side volley which gave Knighton no chance. Then four minutes later, Landon Donovan was trundled over by substitute Martin Bonjour in the area, and he finished his own penalty kick with aplomb for his record 21st postseason goal.

The first playoff match at RFK Stadium in five years had it all as the New York Red Bulls tied D.C. United 1-1 in a wild Eastern Conference Semifinal Series first leg. The drama began in the first half when United were awarded a penalty after New York defender Connor Lade was called for a handball in the box. The ensuing spot kick was taken by United’s Chris Pontius, who struck the ball hard, but New York goalkeeper Luis Robles guessed right and the ball was cleared in the 33rd minute. But United took the lead on the hour when Red Bulls substitute Roy Miller attempted to clear a ball sent into the box by Perry Kitchen, but sent his clearance directly into the top corner of his own goal. Five minutes later, the score was level when D.C. goalkeeper Bill Hamid jumped to corral a header by Heath Pearce and fell into his own net while holding the ball. The home side went a man down in the 71st minute. Right back Andy Najar was shown two yellow cards in very quick succession, the second after throwing the ball at referee Jair Marrufo, but the Red Bulls were unable to capitalize.

CAUTIONS Kamara 42

The Houston Dynamo extended their unbeaten streak at home, handing top-seeded Sporting Kansas City a 2-0 loss in the first leg of their Eastern Conference Semifinal Series at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo opened the scoring in the 18th minute behind a brilliant strike from Adam Moffat. With Kansas City struggling to clear their area following a corner kick in the 18th minute, Will Bruin, nodded the ball into Moffat's path, and from well out of the area he unleashed a technically perfect strike inside the back post that Jimmy Nielsen could only wave at as it whizzed past him. Houston gradually took control of the game and eventually cashed in to score an all-important second goal 15 minutes from the end. Calen Carr turned KC defender Aurélien Collin and sped toward the end line, eventually picking out Bruin for a simple finish inside the six-yard box. The scoreline was a repeat of last season’s 2-0 Dynamo victory in the Eastern Conference Championship at Livestrong Sporting Park.

Seattle Sounders FC and Real Salt Lake settled for their third 0-0 draw of the season, this time in the first leg of their Western Conference Semifinal Series. Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando was tested more often, making five saves, including diving stops off a pair of backto-back corners in the 33rd minute. First, he stopped a Sammy Ochoa header and then moments later he robbed Jhon Kennedy Hurtado's diving effort. But his performance was made even more impressive by the fact that he played the final 20 minutes after a collision gave him a swollen eye and nearly knocked him out of the game. Sounders FC goalkeeper Michael Gspurning made four saves, his last saving the result in the 85th minute when he dove to his right to stop an Álvaro Saborío header. No goals have been scored in the last 299 minutes that the two teams have played against one another.

The San Jose Earthquakes did it again, getting a goal late in stoppage time to overcome the LA Galaxy in the first leg opener of their Western Conference semifinal series at the Home Depot Center. It was an intense, defense-minded affair, with the Galaxy having more and better opportunities. Robbie Keane nearly broke the tie in the 86th minute, but his 26-yard blast caromed off the crossbar. Then in the 94th-minute, Víctor Bernárdez's free kick from 31 yards got through the Galaxy wall at the top of the box then goalkeeper Josh Saunders, who was unable to prevent the ball from rolling over the goal line. It was the fifth time this season the Quakes have scored a stoppage-time winner, including the May 23 meeting with the Galaxy in Carson, in which Alan Gordon headed home a 94th-minute decider as San Jose rallied from a two-goal deficit for a 3-2 triumph.

The Houston Dynamo is the only team that Sporting Kansas City has lost to during the 2012 season of the teams remaining as MLS Cup contenders. The Houston Dynamo has not lost at home since the opening of BBVA Compass Stadium and has gone undefeated in their last 29 games played at home in all competition. Sporting Kansas City is 2-13-3 all-time on the road during the playoffs. Sporting Kansas City is 14-17-5 all-time in 36 all-time postseason appearances. The last time Sporting Kansas City won a playoff game on the road was October 30, 2011. Prior to that win against the Colorado Rapids, Kansas City went 14 games without a win on the road during the playoffs. Sporting KC has scored 17 goals in playoff matches on the road and conceded 35. Sporting KC has now conceded 11 of those goals between the 16th and 30th minutes and 12 of those goals between the 61st and 75th minutes. Houston are participating in the postseason for the sixth time in the team’s seven seasons. Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear’s 12 playoff victories rank fourth most in MLS history. Sporting Kansas City has won by two or more goals 14 times in MLS competition in the last two seasons, including 10 times at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. Of note, Sporting Kansas City beat Houston 3-0 at home last year and won the team’s second leg of the 2011 Eastern Conference Semifinal 2-0 at home. Sunday’s match tied the MLS playoff record for fewest shots on goal between two teams with three. The previous record was set on Oct. 21, 2005 between Chicago and Dallas in a scoreless draw. At 35 years and 90 days old, Jimmy Nielsen became the oldest goalkeeper in club history to appear in and start a postseason match, surpassing marks previously held by Tony Meola. Sporting Kansas City’s one shot on goal was the second fewest in a postseason match in club history. The all-time record for fewest shots on goal in a game was set in the club’s last playoff match in Houston with zero shots on goal in a 2-0 loss in the 2007 Western Conference Championship at Robertson Stadium. With the loss, Sporting Kansas City concludes a 12-match unbeaten streak, the longest in MLS this season. Sporting Kansas City made three substitutions in the first leg of the Eastern Conference Semifinals bringing on Dom Dwyer, Peterson Joseph and Bobby Convey.

The team’s 18 wins in regulation are the most in club history and Sporting KC averaged 1.85 points per game in 2012. It marks the second straight season Sporting Kansas City finished in first place in the Eastern Conference and the fifth time in club history to finish atop the conference (1997, 2000, 2004, 2011, 2012). This season is the first time Sporting Kansas City has repeated as the conference’s top team in back-to-back seasons. Sporting Kansas City secured the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference for the 2012 MLS Cup Playoffs and will have home field advantage through the Eastern Conference Championship. Sporting Kansas City also secured the No. 2 overall seed in the 2012 MLS Cup Playoffs. If Sporting Kansas City reaches the 2012 MLS Cup, they will have the right to host if the San Jose Earthquakes do not reach the final. Sporting KC’s 18 victories are the most victories earned during a single-season in the club’s history surpassing their previous mark (16) set in 2000 when the club won the Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup title. Graham Zusi leads the League with 15 assists this season. Zusi is tied with Mauro Rosales, Javier Morales, Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane with five game-winning assists in 2012. Zusi is one of seven MLS players with seven or more assists in both 2011 and 2012. The others are 2011 MVP finalists Mauro Rosales, Dwayne De Rosario and Brad Davis, as well as David Beckham, Patrick Nyarko and Fredy Montero. Sporting Kansas City has allowed 27 goals in 34 matches for a 0.79 goals against average, the best defensive mark in MLS. Goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen is the only Sporting KC player to have played every minute of the 2012 MLS regular season. Nielsen’s 0.79 goals against average at the conclusion of the regualar season is the best single-season mark in club history, leading Tony Meola’s historic 2000 season (0.92), in which he won MLS MVP and Goalkeeper of the Year. Nielsen’s 32 shutouts are the second most in MLS since 2010, trailing only Nick Rimando. Sporting Kansas City concluded the MLS regular season in first place with 542 shots, while allowing the fewest shots against (328). The club has led MLS in shots in six of the past eight seasons, finishing first in shots in 2006 (408), 2007 (420), 2010 (393), 2011 (488) and 2012 (542). Kansas City were also League leaders in shots in 2002 and the inaugural 1996 campaign, and lead MLS in all-time shots taken with 7,156.

The team had a historic start to 2012, garnering seven straight wins to begin the season. However, Kansas City experienced a slight decrease in their momentum losing three games in a row before earning a draw against Western Conference foe Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The momentum was back in Kansas City’s favor as the team won two Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup games against Orlando City SC and Colorado Rapids and added two MLS victories against the San Jose Earthquakes and Toronto FC. Sporting KC then went on the road and earned a tie at CenturyLink Field against Western Conference foe Seattle Sounders. Sporting KC experienced a second short slump in MLS play, suffering a 4-0 defeat to the Philadelphia Union at PPL Park followed by a 1-0 loss to rival Chicago Fire at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. However, in between the two MLS matches, Sporting Kansas City hosted the Dayton Dutch Lions in Open Cup competition, in which they earned a 3-0 victory to send them to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semi-finals. Sporting Kansas City got back on track in MLS competition in July when they beat Montreal 3-1 at Saputo Stadium followed by 0-0 home draw with the Houston Dynamo. Sporting KC then went on the road earning a 2-0 victory over the Columbus Crew moving them back up the standings and into sole possession of first place among Eastern Conference rivals before dropping a 2-1 decision against Houston in their first ever match at BBVA Compass Stadium. Sporting Kansas City returned back to LSP to face the New England Revolution in the first of four consecutive home matches in all-competition. The match resulted in a scoreless draw. Sporting KC then fell to Montpellier Herault SC 3-0 in their first of two international friendlies before losing to Eastern Conference foe Columbus 2-1 despite outshooting the Crew 25-12. Sporting Kansas City then went on to draw 1-1 with EPL side Stoke City FC with a late equalizer in second half stoppage time. After the friendly, Sporting KC earned the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title after defeating the Seattle Sounders FC in a shootout at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. Sporting Kansas City next hosted D.C. United and earned a 2-1 victory at LSP followed by a 1-0 road win over Toronto FC at BMO Field.

Sporting KC concluded the 2012 regular season with a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park moving their unbeaten streak to twelve consecutive matches in MLS competition. LAMAR HUNT U.S. OPEN CUP CHAMPIONS | Sporting Kansas City was crowned the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Champions for the first time since 2004 after beating the Seattle Sounders FC at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park 3-2 in penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw in regulation. Sporting KC took the lead on a Kei Kamara penalty kick in the 84th minute after a hand ball by Zach Scott. The goal marked Kamara’s second goal in U.S. Open Cup competition since joining Kansas City. Just two minutes later, Seattle’s Scott got a bit of redemption when he notched the equalizer off a free kick from Rosales. After two overtime periods the match was still tied and headed to a bestof-five shootout. Sporting KC, shooting first, began with Kamara’s second successful attempt of the night. The Sounders would match it with a make of their own through Brad Evans’ shot to his left. Gspurning gave his team the advantage with a stop on Espinoza and Seattle momentarily led following Marc Burch’s blast down the middle. Besler pulled Sporting KC back level with a shot off the underside of the crossbar and into the back of the net. Alonso and Zusi both sent their shots over the crossbar in back-to-back attempts, and Nielsen made a superb save to his left to deny Christian Tiffert to send it to the fifth and final penalty kick with it all to be decided. Nagamura’s initial attempt was saved by Gspurning, but he was ruled to have come off his line early and the Brazilian calmly converted the ensuing second chance to his left to put Sporting KC ahead in dramatic fashion. Johnson walked to the spot with LIVESTRONG Sporting Park in a frenzy, needing to score to keep Seattle alive. Back in Kansas City for the first time since he played with the then-Wizards in 2007, Johnson’s shot sailed over the crossbar and brought an end to the shootout with Seattle’s third straight miss from the mark. Prior to the shootout loss, the Sounders had won three straight U.S. Open Cups, and had not been bested in the competition since August 12, 2008, when they were still a United Soccer League franchise.

last time they met... Sporting Kansas City last met the Houston Dynamo on November 4, 2012 at BBVA Compass Stadium in the first leg of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The Houston Dynamo gained the early lead after Adam Moffat unleashed a 35-yard strike which beat Nielsen in the 18th minute of the match. Will Bruin garnered the assist on the first goal, but it Moffat who was responsible for starting the build-up. Moffat sent a ball toward the back post, but Seth Sinovic was able to disrupt the play. Unfortunately, his headed found its way into the path of Will Bruin who was able to lightly pass the ball with his own head to a full speed Moffat who hadn’t stopped trailing the play. Moffat took one touch before hitting a dream strike against the grain and into the back of the net. Sporting Kansas City’s best chance in the match came in the 71st minute, when Chance Myers received the ball with a significant amount of space on the right flank. Myers found Graham Zusi breaking free at the top of the 18 but Zusi’s shot was wide to the Dynamo goal. The Dynamo earned their second goal of the match in the 75th minute when Calen Carr beat Aurelien Collin on the left side of the field with a crafty first touch. Carr proceeded to get endline before slotting the ball back to the penalty spot for Will Bruin who one timed it past Nielsen.

Sporting Kansas City vs. Houston Dynamo MLS Cup playoffs Eastern Conference Semifinals – Leg 2 Wednesday, 7 November 2012 – 8 p.m. CT LIVESTRONG Sporting Park, Kansas City, KS Broadcast Information

Dynamo Media Contacts (@HoustonDynamo.com)

TV: FOX Sports Houston Radio: KPRC 950 AM, Baila 101.7 FM (Spanish)

DYNAMO CARRY TWO GOAL LEAD TO KANSAS CITY FOR SECOND LEG IN EAST SEMIFINALS The Houston Dynamo carry a 2‐0 aggregate series lead into the second leg of their Eastern Conference semifinal series with Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday night at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. The club with the better combined score (Note: The “away goals” rule is not used) in the two game series will advance to the Eastern Conference Championship against D.C. United or the New York Red Bulls. The Dynamo earned a 2‐0 home win on Sunday through goals from Adam Moffat and Will Bruin. Wednesday’s second leg between Houston and Kansas City comes almost exactly a year to the day after last season’s Eastern Conference final between these clubs – Nov. 6, 2011 – a 2‐0 Dynamo win at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park.

Houston vs. Kansas City Houston is 6‐3‐6 in regular season games and 3‐0‐0 in playoff meetings with Sporting Kansas City after Sunday’s 2‐0 win. The clubs met three times in the 2012 regular season, with both encounters in Kansas City ending in draws‐ 0‐0 on July 7 and 1‐1 on Sept. 14. The Dynamo secured a 2‐1 win on July 18 in the lone meeting in Houston. The Dynamo have twice defeated Kansas City in a conference final. Last year, Houston earned a 2‐0 win in the single‐leg Eastern Conference final at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park through goals from Andre Hainault and Carlo Costly. The rivals also met in the 2007 Western Conference final, a 2‐0 Dynamo win at Robertson Stadium.

DYNAMO NOTES 

Dynamo take first leg in first‐ever playoff game at BBVA Compass Stadium: The Dynamo secured a 2‐0 win over Sporting Kansas City in the first leg of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Sunday afternoon at BBVA Compass Stadium. Adam Moffat delivered a sensational goal in the 18th minute, a 25‐yard strike into the upper corner for an early lead and his first career playoff goal. In the 75th minute, Will Bruin, who scored two goals on Oct. 31 at Chicago and assisted on Moffat’s goal, sealed the win with his third goal in two playoff games off a pinpoint pass from Calen Carr, who earned his second assist in two playoff games. Goalkeeper Tally Hall earned his third career playoff shutout and improved to 5‐1 as a starting goalkeeper in the playoffs. The win extended Houston’s home unbeaten streak to 29 games in all competitions.



Bruin sets franchise single‐season goals record: Will Bruin followed his two‐goal performance on Oct. 31 at Chicago with his third goal of the playoffs on Sunday against Sporting Kansas City. Bruin has set a franchise record with 15 goals on the season after he led the Dynamo with 12 regular season goals. The second‐year forward has surpassed Brian Ching’s club record for goals in a season in all competitions, including playoffs. Ching scored 14 goals in 2008 (13 in regular season and one in Champions League) and 14 goals in 2006 (11 in regular season and three in the playoffs).

 

Other notes from Sunday’s 2‐0 win over Sporting Kansas City: Bruin’s goal was his third career playoff goal ‐ he scored all three in the last two games ‐ to move to second on the franchise list for playoff goals. With three goals this postseason, Bruin has tied Brian Ching for the franchise record for goals in a single postseason. Ching scored three goals in the 2006 postseason. The win extended Houston’s home unbeaten streak to 29 games in all competitions. The Dynamo also improved to 7‐1‐0 all‐time in home playoff games and have outscored opponents 15‐5. It was midfielder Brad Davis’ 17th playoff start with the Dynamo to set a franchise record. Bruin became the youngest Dynamo player to record an assist in a playoff game (23 years, 11 days) Calen Carr earned his second assist of this postseason on Bruin’s goal. Carr’s two assists matches a franchise record for assists in a single postseason with Brad Davis, who recorded two assists in 2011 and 2006. It was defender Bobby Boswell’s 11th playoff start with Houston. He moved into a tie with Wade Barrett for fifth on the franchise chart. The Dynamo are now undefeated ‐ 3‐0‐2 ‐ in their last five games against Sporting Kansas City. The Dynamo improved to 11‐5‐3 all‐time in the playoffs (counting 2006 MLS Cup final penalty kick victory as a tie). Tally Hall lowered his playoffs goals against average to 0.50, the lowest all‐time in MLS. Hall’s postseason win percentage (.833) is the second‐best all‐time and highest among active goalkeepers. Hall’s postseason save percentage is 90%, the best all‐time in MLS. Dominic Kinnear earned his 12th career playoff win to move into fourth place on the all‐time wins chart.

Bruin leads Knockout Round win in Chicago: The Dynamo advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 2‐1 victory over the Chicago Fire in the MLS Cup playoffs Knockout Round on Oct. 31 at Toyota Park. Will Bruin scored two goals for the Dynamo in his first career playoff start. Bruin is the third Dynamo player in franchise history to score two goals in a playoff game.



Dynamo, SKC set for seventh meeting in 12 months: Wednesday’s game between Houston and Kansas City will be the seventh meeting between the rivals in 12 months.



Dynamo out to defend Eastern Conference crown: Despite being the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference, the Dynamo will try and defend their 2011 Eastern Conference title. A year ago, the Dynamo earned two important road wins – 2‐1 at Philadelphia on Oct. 30 and 2‐0 at Sporting Kansas City on Nov. 6 in the Eastern Conference final – to capture their third conference championship in six years. The Dynamo have excelled in the postseason over the years, posting a 11‐5‐3 all‐time record in the playoffs (counting 2006 MLS Cup final penalty kick victory as a tie).



Road Warriors: The win in Chicago was Houston’s third road playoff win in the last two seasons. The Dynamo earned wins in Philadelphia and Kansas City a year ago after going 0‐2‐2 in their first four road playoff games (2006, 2007 MLS Cup finals at neutral sites excluded).



Dynamo enter playoffs with lowest‐ever seed: The Dynamo are the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, the lowest seed in club history, despite setting a franchise record with 53 points this season. Houston has been the 1 or 2 seed in each of its five previous trips to the playoffs. Dynamo seed history: 2011, #2 seed; 2009, #2; 2008, #1; 2007, #2; 2006, #2.



Tough at Home: The Dynamo are 7‐1‐0 all‐time in home playoff games and have outscored opponents 15‐5. Houston’s only home loss was a 3‐0 setback against New York in the second leg of the 2008 Eastern Conference semifinal.



Late playoff heroics: Of Houston’s 26 all‐time playoff goals, a remarkable 16 have been scored after the 60th minute, including four overtime goals. Three of those were scored by forward Brian Ching, with a tying header in the 2006 MLS Cup final and game‐winners in the second leg of Western Conference semifinals in 2007 and 2009. Ching ranks second among active MLS players with eight playoff goals, trailing only Landon Donovan (20).



Mainstays: Midfielder Brad Davis has appeared in 18 of the Dynamo’s 19 playoff games in franchise history, starting 17. The 2011 MLS Cup final is the only playoff game Davis has missed. Forward Brian Ching has started 16 of Houston’s playoff games, but missed the 2007 MLS Cup final due to injury.





Dynamo set franchise points record: With the 3‐1 win over Philadelphia on Oct. 20, the Dynamo set a new mark for points in a season, 53, surpassing the previous club record, 52, set in 2007.



Dynamo advance to Champions League quarterfinals: The Dynamo secured passage to the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League with a 1‐1 draw versus C.D. Olimpia of Honduras on Oct. 23 at BBVA Compass Stadium. Andre Hainault’s second‐half header was the equalizer for the Dynamo (2‐0‐2), who won Group 3 with eight points to advance to the knockout stage, set for next March. It is Houston’s first trip to the CCL quarterfinals since 2009.



Dynamo clinch playoff spot with 3‐1 win over Union: The Dynamo clinched a berth in the 2012 MLS Cup playoffs with a 3‐1 win over the Philadelphia Union on Oct. 20 at BBVA Compass Stadium. Macoumba Kandji, Boniek Garcia and Brad Davis each scored for the Dynamo, who reach the playoffs for the sixth time in seven seasons in Houston. The win in the regular season home finale, in front of the ninth sellout crowd of the season, completed an undefeated home schedule for the Dynamo (see page 4 for more details). Houston went 11‐0‐6 at BBVA Compass Stadium to become the fourth team in Major League Soccer history to complete a home schedule without defeat. The victory also extended the club’s home unbeaten streak to 25 regular season games.



Boniek García continues strong start: Boniek Garcia scored his fourth goal with the Dynamo in the 3‐1 win over Philadelphia on Oct. 20. The Dynamo are 11‐4‐6 in MLS play (playoffs included) since the Honduran midfielder’s debut on June 30 (record includes 1‐0 win over Real Salt Lake when Garcia missed game for international duty and 2‐0 defeat at Colorado on Oct. 27 in which Garcia did not play). Garcia has four goals and six assists and has played 90 minutes in each of his 19 games. Houston has outscored its opponents 31‐17 in the 18 matches Garcia has played. Despite not playing in the first 15 games of the season, Garcia had the second most assists on the club, six. The 28‐year‐old Designated Player signed with Houston on June 7 after playing for Honduran powerhouse C.D. Olimpia since 2003. The midfielder debuted for the Honduras national team in 2005 and has 73 appearances for his country, including five appearances in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup.



Cold Blooded: The temperature at kickoff of Sunday’s 2‐0 win over Sporting Kansas City was 81 degrees. The Dynamo are now 11‐1‐4 this year when the temperature is 80 degrees or more. 13 of the 16 games were at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston. Houston was 9‐1‐6 in temperatures of 80+ in 2011, so the club is 20‐2‐10 since 2011 when the temperature is 80+.



Brad Davis, Midfield Maestro: Midfielder Brad Davis recorded his 12th assist of the season on Sept. 29 vs. New England. It is the fourth consecutive season the all‐star midfielder recorded 12 or more assists in a season. Davis had 16 assists in 2011 (career‐high) and 12 assists in 2010 and 2009. Davis finished with the fifth most assists in the league, trailing leader Graham Zusi (15) of Sporting Kansas City.
