HOUSTON DYNAMO v SPORTING KANSAS CITY
The Dynamo continued their quality postseason road performance in the win in Chicago. A year ago, they won twice on the road in the MLS Cup Playoffs before falling in MLS Cup 2011 at LA. "I think especially in the first half, that was the best we've played in a while," head coach Dominic Kinnear said.
"Good movement off the ball, creating chances and defending very well. We came out in the second half and got off to a great start. Obviously you know Chicago's going to make a push which they did and Tally [Hall] made some big saves and defended pretty well." ... Will Bruin scored his first two postseason goals and became the third player in Dynamo playoff history to score two goals in a game, joining Paul Dalglish (2006) and Brian Ching (2007). "I'm glad he had the goals because he works ever so hard out there for the team," Kinnear said. "He's going to get all the praise for the two goals, and rightly so." Said Bruin: "It's been such a long season that it's nice to have that mojo back come playoff time. I want to get out there and play. It was fun and hopefully there's a lot more to go." ... Bruin also now has 14 goals in all competitions this season, equaling the club record set in both 2006 and 2008 by Ching. "He and Calen [Carr] had some good plays [in Chicago]. They ran well off each other. But Will, 12 goals [in the season] and then two goals to start the playoffs is good for him. He does a lot of things right up there. I think hitting the target was good for him." ... Brad Davis collected his sixth playoff assist in 17 career postseason matches. He was making his return to playoff action after missing last year's MLS Cup, when he suffered a thigh injury in the Eastern Conference final vs. Sporting KC. "In the first half, I thought the midfield was very good," Kinnear said. "Possessing the ball, defending and closing down gaps and getting on to second balls; I thought they played very well." ... The Dynamo also move into a first-ever postseason game at BBVA Compass Stadium, trying to match the Galaxy's record a year ago of not los-ing over the entirety of the 2011 season at home, including MLS Cup. "It’s one of those were we have to take it step by step and this is the first step. ... There are no easy games and we knew if we won this game we were heading towards Kansas City. They are a good team. It’s going to be a tough test for us,” said Kinnear.One year ago, Sporting KC ended their season with a match against the Houston Dynamo -- a 2-0 loss in the Eastern Conference Championship at Livestrong Sporting Park. And this season, they have yet to defeat the Dynamo, with a loss and two draws in three league meetings. “They're a good team,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said, “but I don't look at it as, 'We haven't beaten them.' I look at it as, 'We have a challenge in front of us, and we'll set up a game plan, and I think we have enough guys that we can perform and execute.'” Said forward Kei Kamara: "It's an even slate. We play at their place, they play at our place. Those other games are past, and now it's all about getting ready for these games." ... Midfielder Paulo Nagamura was pulled out in the first half of the season finale, for what was thought to be a precaution. But Nagamura is expected to miss the first leg of the conference semifinals. “It's a serious ankle sprain,” Vermes said. “I'm very doubtful for our first game. Very doubtful. So it's really going to be when he gets better and when he can play through.” ... In Nagamura's place, Jacob Peterson is likely to get the start. Peterson came on for Nagamura when he was injured in the season finale vs. Philadelphia, and scored his fourth goal of the season. "You could see when he came in ... he was back to the form from when he kind of went on a tear," Vermes said of Peterson. "You can see that he's back to that – and it took him a while, coming back from the injury that he had." ... After missing the final two match-es after suffering an ankle injury, Roger Espinoza is expected to be available for the playoff opener. ... C.J. Sapong comes into the postseason having scored four goals and recording his only two assists of the season, over the final seven league match-es. "I set a benchmark for myself to do better than I did last year. I had hoped to get double digits, but I finished one away," said Sapong. "I do feel like I had more of an impact on the field this year than I did last year."... While Kei Kamara hasn't added to his 10 goals since Aug. 26, he did have three assists in the final four games. "I’ve said to him many times -– when he wants to run at people, he can be the most domi-nant player in the league," said Vermes.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY v HOUSTON DYNAMO – 2012 LEAGUE BOXSCORES SPORTING KANSAS CITY 0, HOUSTON DYNAMO 0 July 7, 2012 -- Livestrong Sporting Park Scoring Summary: None
The closest either team came to scoring came in the 33rd minute, when Sporting's Jacob Peterson ripped a low shot off the left post.
Houston had a chance to steal the game late, but it was thwarted when KC’s Aurélien Collin and Jimmy Nielsen combined to stop Brian Ownby’s shot in the 90th minute.
Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall had four saves, while Nielsen was credited with two, for their respective shutouts.

The Dynamo took the lead in the 25th minute following a 23-pass sequence. Will Bruin took an Andre Hainault ball into the box and slotted a pass to Calen Carr, who had little trouble placing the ball past SKC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen.
Sporting evened terms in the 41st minute. After Teal Bunbury was fouled from behind in the box by Hainault, prompting referee Mark Kadlecik to point to the spot, Kei Kamara converted the resulting penalty.
But just before halftime, SKC were reduced in numbers when Peterson Joseph was sent off for a sweeping, two-footed tackle from behind on Carr.
The home side hit for the winner in the 79th minute. After setting Brad Davis up out wide, Carr made a run in the box for the return ball, collided with the pass in a mass of bodies and watched it trickle into the goal.

The Dynamo took the lead in the 58th minute. From a continuous spell of possession, Brad Davis took Boniek Garcia's pass in the middle of the attacking third, worked to his left to get into space, and put a low shot past a screened Jimmy Nielsen and inside the far post.
But Sporting hit for a late equalizer in the third minute of stoppage time. Latching onto a loose ball at the top of the box, Graham Zusi chipped the ball to the far post and C.J. Sapond flung himself headlong at the ball, nodding it past goalkeeper Tally Hall to keep KC atop the East.

DYNAMO NOTES _ 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 Wednesday 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. Brian Ching scored two goals in the 2007 Western Conference semifinal against FC Dallas and Paul
Dalglish scored two goals in the 2006 Western Conference final versus Colorado.
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 10‐5‐3 all‐time
record in the playoffs (counting 2006 MLS Cup final penalty kick victory as a tie).
Bruin matches Ching’s goal record: With his two‐goal performance at Chicago on Wednesday, Will Bruin now has 14
goals on the season after he led the Dynamo with 12 regular season goals. The second‐year forward has matched 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).
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, SKC set for sixth meeting in 12 months: Sunday’s game between Houston and Kansas City will be the sixth
meeting between the rivals in 12 months. The clubs met in the Eastern Conference final last November, in the preseason
this February in Orlando, and three times in the regular season. The Dynamo are 2‐0‐2 in their last four competitive
meetings with Sporting Kansas City.
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 6‐1‐0 all‐time in home playoff games and have outscored opponents 13‐5. 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 24 all‐time playoff goals, a remarkable 15 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 17 of the Dynamo’s 18 playoff games in franchise history, starting 16.
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.

regular season home finale, in front of the ninth sellout crowd of the season, completed an undefeated home schedule for
the Dynamo (see page 3 for more details). Houston went 11‐0‐6 at BBVA Compass Stadium to become the fourth team in

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 best-of-fiveshootout.SportingKC,shootingfirst,beganwithKamara’ssecondsuccessful 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 at-tempts, and Nielsen made a superb save to his left to deny Christian Tiffert tosendittothefifthandfinalpenaltykickwithitalltobedecided.
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, needingtoscoretokeepSeattlealive.BackinKansasCityforthefirsttimesince 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.
