Not only is this a rematch of the 2011 MLS Cup Finals, but it is also a rematch of the 2012 championship, as well. The LA Galaxy will play their second game against a Texas-based opponent in less than ten days.
The Houston Dynamo will host the reigning MLS Cup winners on Friday night. The LA Galaxy are 3-3-2 in their last after going winless in their first 16 games to start the season.
Things got chippy between these two teams earlier in the season. After Ezequiel Ponce's score in the 14th minute, the LA Galaxy found themselves in familiar territory.
