The Houston Dynamo were able to secure a playoff spot for the time in three seasons and face a familiar foe in rivals Sporting Kansas City. SKC have struggled in the playoffs since they knocked the Dynamo out in 2013 and eventually won the MLS Cup and are keen to prevent a fourth consecutive away knock out round loss.
In our preview of the match we discussed how each side made it to the playoffs along with the previous meetings, but we wanted the perspective of a rival so we spoke with Cody Bradley of the Blue Testament to talk about some of the issues facing SKC.
