This two-leg aggregate goal series starts in BBVA Compass Stadium, Houston, Texas shortly after 6:30 PM on a Tuesday night. Nine days later at CenturyLink Field, Seattle, Washington, leg two will decide who advances to MLS Cup.
Under Wilmer Cabrera, the Dynamo are a more fluid, countering team than the Kinnear versions of Houston. They were particularly potent countering down the wings against Seattle in their win at home. Will Bruin got revenge in Seattle’s home game during the regular season.
