Houston Dynamo (11-9-13, 46 pts.) vs. LA Galaxy (19-4-10, 67 pts.)
Robertson Stadium - Houston, TX - 6:00pm CT
The regular season finale. The final regular season game (potentially last Dynamo game ever) played at Robertson Stadium. A chance to leapfrog the Columbus Crew and the Philadelphia Union and take over 2nd place in the Eastern Conference, bypassing the wildcard round. Yeah, this is kind of a big game.
Here's the playoff scenarios:
Dynamo win: Houston finishes 2nd place in East, plays the Union in a dual-leg tie with the second match in Houston.
Dynamo draw: Houston plays at Colorado in a wildcard match.
Dynamo loss: Houston plays at FC Dallas in a wildcard match.
Simple as that.
Dynamo Starting XI & Bench:
Galaxy Starting XI:
Ricketts; Hejduk, Robinson, Berhalter, DeLaGarza; Jimenez, Birchall, Keat, Stephens; Kirovski, McBean

The field is so chewed up
There are going to be some ugly bounces and a lot of mistakes tonight

Adam Moffat has zero goals inside 30 yards this season.
Also, Adam Moffat has two goals this year.

ADAM MOFFAT!!!!!
Nice blast from 38 yards out
Anyone else think the Cruz yellow was harsh? He went up for a header similar to the yellow last week but didn’t lead with his shoulder. His back collided with the LA players chest.

somethin' ain't right
First no handball on Hejduk (which would’ve been a PK), then a fairly harsh yellow on Cruz? And then Hainault? Hopefully 2-0 will hold if the ref eases up

Nah...
The other two were good calls but Cruz had a harsh yellow I think.

Hopefully
you had a better view than I did because all I had was a crap, fuzzy picture courtesy of our friends at Comcast.

The first match has been confirmed for Sunday, likely at 3:00 CT if reports on Twitter are to be believed.

No idea how the playoff thing works this time...
seems like the rules/format change every year
Wooooooo Dynamo
Good time to be finding some decent form. 5 goals in 2 games. I like it.
