After 37 matches played this year, the Houston Dynamo are only two away from featuring in the MLS Cup final. To get there they’ll have to eliminate last year’s champions Seattle Sounders FC, with the the first leg of the Western Conference Championship kicking off tonight at BBVA Compass Stadium (8:30 p.m. CT | FS1, Fox Deportes).
This is the club’s seventh appearance in the conference finals – the most in MLS since the Dynamo’s first season in 2006 – and the franchise looks to secure its fifth appearance in an MLS Cup final. A result on Tuesday could set the Dynamo up nicely heading into the second leg on November 30 in Seattle.
