Sporting KC's opponent for the conference final on Sunday has been decided. The Houston Dynamo defeated the Philadelphia Union 1-0 tonight in Houston to win their series 3-1 on aggregate. The Dynamo now travel to KC to play on Sunday against KC. The winner will earn a trip to MLS Cup and a birth in next year's CONCACAF Champion's League. KC and Houston met 3 times in all competitions this year, KC won the first meeting in a US Open Cup qualifier, 1-0 with an extra time goal by CJ Sapong in College Station. In the league meeting in Houston, the two teams tied 1-1 on a late goal by Aurelien Collin. In the home meeting KC took care of business winning 3-0 thanks to a brace by Teal Bunbury and another by Sapong. In the 3 games, Houston picked up 3 red cards in those games. So it's likely to be another physical match up.
The game will kick off on Sunday at 4:30pm since LA defeated New York in their game late last night.
Does Houston's height (8 field players over 6'1" that get time)keep CJ Sapong on the field over Bravo?
ReplyDeleteI think Bravo is the best left winger on the squad, but it is just a thought mulling around my head.
