The Seattle Sounders will face the Dynamo after the Timbers could not get it done at home. Dylan Remick’s goal secured Houston advancing but it was Mauro Manotas that finished the Timbers off. The Colombian scored four minutes after subbing for Erick “Cubo” Torres. With the Sounders coming through as the higher seed, the first leg will be Tuesday, Nov. 21 in Houston with leg two in Seattle on Thursday, Nov. 30.
This will be Houston’s first conference final since 2013 when they fell to Sporting Kansas City, when both teams were in the East.
