MLS GAME INFORMATION

HOUSTON DYNAMO vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY BBVA COMPASS STADIUM, Houston, Texas

May 12, 2013 (WEEK 11, MLS Game #102) 7 p.m. CT (CSN-Hou; KSMO) Having met in each of the last two seasons in the MLS Cup Playoffs, the Houston Dynamo and Sporting Kansas City once again renew acquaintances on Sunday evening at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo return home off a two-game winning road swing, without shutouts in both, after a midweek 4-0 win at D.C. United. Sporting hit the road following a second loss in a three-game homestand, a late 1-0 defeat by Seattle Sounders FC. The Dynamo have knocked higher-seeded Sporting out of the postseason in each of the last two seasons. REFEREE: Chris Penso. AR1 (bench): Kermit Quisenberry; AR2 (opposite): Mark Cahen; 4th: Daniel Fitzgerald MLS Career: 36 games; FC/gm: 23.1; Y/gm: 2.8; R: 8; pens: 13 DISABLED LIST: KC: Teal Bunbury SUSPENDED: none WARNINGS: SUSPENDED NEXT YELLOW CARD: KC: Aurelien Collin, Oriol Rosell SUSPENDED AFTER TWO YELLOW CARDS: KC: Seth Sinovic INTERNATIONAL ABSENCES: none HEAD-TO-HEAD ALL-TIME (15 meetings): Dynamo 6 wins, 21 goals … Sporting 3 wins, 17 goals … Ties 6 AT HOUSTON (7 meetings): Dynamo 3 wins, 12 goals … Sporting 1 wins, 7 goals … Ties 3 FUTURE MATCH: 10/9: Houston Dynamo vs. Sporting Kansas City, 8:30 p.m. CT LAST YEAR (MLS) 7/7: KC 0, HOU 0 7/18: HOU 2, KC 1 (Carr 25, 79 – Kamara 42) 9/14: KC 1, HOU 1 (Sapong 93+ -- Davis 58)

The teams met in the MLS Cup Playoffs for a second consecutive season last year, the Dynamo winning their semifinal series 2-1 on aggregate. In 2011, the Dynamo won 2-0 in the Eastern Conference Championship at Sporting Park.

A year ago, both league meetings at Sporting Park ended in draws, while the Dynamo won the first-ever meetings at BBVA Compass Stadium.

Kansas City’s only win in Houston came in the first meeting ever between the clubs, a 2-1 win April 8, 2006 at Robertson Stadium. In the all-time league series, the road team has not won since 2009, when the Dynamo took a victory at CommunityAmerica Ballpark.

Coaches record: Dominic Kinnear vs. KC: P21 W8 L5 D8 … Peter Vermes vs. HOU: P8 W2 L2 D4 HOUSTON DYNAMO The Houston Dynamo completed their two-game road trip with a second victory, rolling to a 4-0 triumph against D.C. United on Wednesday evening at RFK Stadium. The Dynamo are in a tie for first place in the Eastern Conference with 20 points from 10 matches. LAST MATCH

The Dynamo opened the scoring in the 16th minute. Will Bruin settled a ball from Boniek Garcia, beat United defender Dejan Jakovic and then chipped it neatly over United goalkeeper Bill Hamid from the heart of the penalty area.

Twelve minutes later Houston struck again, taking advantage of a United giveaway. Pressured in their own end, Jakovic passed the ball to Hamid in a tight space and United’s goalkeeper cleared it directly to Bruin, who tapped it to a wide-open Giles Barnes for an uncontested finish.

Bruin scored his second of the match in the 78th minute when Brian Ching headed a Brad Davis free kick across the six for Bruin to hit first-time through Hamid’s legs.

The visitors completed the rout two minutes from time when Bruin played provider for a second time on the night, laying the ball off for Andrew Driver to thump home from inside the box.

Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear made two changes to the team that claimed a 1-0 victory against the LA Galaxy at The Home Depot Center. Brad Davis came back from suspension into the midfield in place of Ricardo Clark.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-1-3-2): Tally Hall - Kofi Sarkodie, Jermaine Taylor, Bobby Boswell, Corey Ashe - Adam Moffat - Boniek Garcia, Brad Davis (Luiz Camargo 90), Andrew Driver - Giles Barnes (Brian Ching 37), Will Bruin (Jason Johnson 90).

TEAM NEWS The Dynamo have now gone 225 minutes without conceding a goal, sneaking into the 10th-longest run without

allowing a goal this year in MLS. The league best thus far is 546 minutes, by Sporting KC from March 9-April 20.

“We’re working hard to get where we are right now. We have a tough game on Sunday against [Sporting] Kansas City,” said Dynamo boss Dominic Kinnear. “There’s still 24 games left in the season, there’s still a long ways to go, [but] we’ve put ourselves in a good position. We’ve worked hard to get there and you have to work harder to stay.”

Will Bruin hit for multiple goals for the fourth time in his young MLS career, in 66 league appearances. But it was the first time he recorded two assists in the same game.

“I think I’ve matured so much since that hat trick game my first year,” Bruin said. “As a forward you want to be greedy, but you have to know when to be greedy and when to lay it off. Other times I would’ve tried to be greedy and score those myself. If there’s an open net I’ll lay it off every time.”

Bruin also became the first player to be involved in two or more goals and two or more assists in the same game since Jeff Cunningham did it for FC Dallas against the LA Galaxy on Sept. 12, 2009.

“I think the bear might have come out of hibernation tonight. Every forward needs, wants a game like this, to be totally honest. Two goals and two assists, that’s a pretty decent game. I think anybody would be happy with that, so [I’m] happy for him,”said Brad Davis. “Guy works hard week in and week out. When you do that, goals are going to end up coming – he got two great ones to come and there are many more to come.”

Of Bruin’s 21 career league goals, eight have come against D.C. United, including his first career hat trick scored April 29, 2011 at BBVA Compass Stadium.

“I scored my first goals against D.C. in my professional career. I guess [it’s] just a confidence thing. I should be playing like that against every team, but it is what it is,” Bruin said. Said defender Bobby Boswell: “I think he’s just hungry. He wants to improve,” said. “We call him angry sometimes because he really does get angry out there and wants to impose his games on other guys. He’s a guy that I don’t think you want to play against.”

With Davis back in the lineup after missing the Galaxy match through suspension, Ricardo Clark missed his first league game of the season, not included in the 18-man gameday roster.

“[Clark has] a little bit of a groin problem, so [we] didn’t want to risk it, so that’s the reason why he didn’t dress today. All of these guys have had two games in the space of four days with a lot of travel. They put in a great effort. Obviously, confidence makes injuries don’t seem so bad as they are and hopefully that’s the case when we play on Sunday.”

Andrew Driver and Boniek Garcia maintained their wide midfield roles, meaning Davis slotted into the center of the park along with Adam Moffat.

“It’s not my normal position playing in the center midfield, so [I’m] just trying to get in there to do my best to try and connect with guys and disrupt things and work hard in whatever aspect that might be to help the team win,” said Davis. “Like I said, we did a great job. Everyone did their roles properly and we got some great goals.”

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City went down to a third defeat in four matches in stunning fashion, conceding the game’s only goal very late in a loss to Seattle Sounders FC on Wednesday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting are in a tie for third place in the Eastern Conference with 17 points from 11 matches. LAST MATCH

The game-winning goal came four minutes into second-half stoppage time. From a throw-in deep in Sporting's end, SKC center back Aurélien Collin missed his clearance attempt on Brad Evans' pass into the middle of the box, and Djimi Traoré was right there to take advantage, firing past goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen from short range.

Sporting manager Peter Vermes made four changes to the team that rolled to a 4-0 win against Chivas USA at Sporting Park. Chance Myers and Josh Gardner came in at fullback for Mechack Jerome and Seth Sinovic, Benny Feilhaber started in the midfield for Paulo Nagamura, and C.J. Sapong replaced Claudio Bieler up top.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Ike Opara, Aurelien Collin, Josh Gardner (Seth Sinovic 75) - Oriol Rosell - Benny Feilhaber (Claudio Bieler 66), Peterson Joseph - Graham Zusi, C.J. Sapong, Jacob Peterson (Kei Kamara 73).

LAST MATCH Sporting concluded their three-game homestand with a pair of losses, sandwiched around a dominant win

against Chivas USA. “I thought the first half we created a lot of good chances in and around the box, and I thought we dictated,

play,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “But look, they scored a late goal on us and it was just one mistake after another and just completely unacceptable.”

MLS GAME INFORMATION

SKC allowed a goal in the final 15-plus minutes for the first time this season. Only Vancouver Whitecaps FC has yet to allow a goal after the 76th minute in MLS this year.

“That's not good enough to give up a goal in whatever minute. It's very, very disappointing. We have to be more focused in that situation. That's too sloppy,” said goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen. “ … We have to bounce back from this here. It's something that we have to take with us. The last few minutes we have to be better to finish the game like this, if we don't win, at least get a point. That was too easy.”

It was also the second shutout loss in the last four games for Sporting. They had been shut out twice previously this season, but come away with points on both occasions, in scoreless draws vs. Chicago and New England.

“As well as we played in the first half, that's how badly we played in the second half,” said Graham Zusi. “That was a horrible second half. It's not anything that they did. They didn't have many good looks at our goal. I don't know what to tell you. The passing was off. The touches were off. It was just a poor second half.”

Kei Kamara made his 2013 MLS debut after returning from his loan to Norwich City FC of the English Premier League, coming on for the final 17 minutes.

“I knew it was going to be one where he was going to be a little bit disconnected at times being the fact that he played a lot in a 4-4-2 or a 4-5-1 and playing in the middle. Now he's coming to the wide channel again which is what he plays for us,” said Vermes. “It was a good return for him, to get him out on the field for us, but he needs a little time with us for sure to get back to his form with us.”

Chance Myers was able to return to right back, but Ike Opara started a second consecutive game in central defense in place of Matt Besler.

Josh Gardner made his first start in a Sporting KC uniform, as Seth Sinovic saw his consecutive minutes streak from the start of the season come to an end.

“Again having to change the lineup based on a short turn around given that we played Sunday and they played Saturday, I thought we did a good job and we had good run of play,” said Vermes. “I thought the second half we got a little tired in the middle of the park it was hard to make subs based on what we needed.”

DYNAMO SEEKING THIRD WIN IN EIGHT DAYS IN SHOWDOWN WITH SPORTING KANSAS CITY The Houston Dynamo (6‐2‐2; 20 points) return home after a two‐win road trip to host Sporting Kansas City (5‐4‐2; 17 points) 

at BBVA Compass Stadium for their third game in eight days. After defeating a pair of 2012 playoff opponents in the last 

week, the Dynamo will face another playoff foe on Sunday in a replay of the 2012 Eastern Conference semifinal, a 2‐1 

aggregate series win for Houston. The Dynamo earned their second road win in a four‐day span on Wednesday, a 4‐0 triumph 

over D.C. United behind Will Bruin’s two goal, two assist performance. Sporting KC is also set for its third game in eight days 

after two home games this week. It defeated Chivas USA, 4‐0, on Sunday before falling to the Seattle Sounders, 1‐0, on a 94th‐

minute goal from Djimi Traore. Sunday is the first of three meetings between Houston and Sporting KC this season.       

 

HOUSTON VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY The Dynamo are 6‐3‐6 all‐time in regular season games against Sporting Kansas City. The clubs met five times last year, with 

three regular season games and two more in the playoffs. The Dynamo went 1‐0‐2 in the regular season meetings, securing a 

2‐1 home win on July 18 while the clubs drew both meetings in Kansas, 0‐0 on July 7 and 1‐1 on September 14. Houston is 3‐1‐

3 all‐time in home games against Kansas City, which is 0‐3‐3 in its last six visits to Houston, including playoff defeats in 2007 

and 2011. The clubs meet again on May 26 at Sporting Park and return to Houston on October 9.

DYNAMO NOTES Dynamo finish perfect road trip with 4‐0 route of D.C. United: Will Bruin scored two goals and provided two assists to lead 

the Dynamo to a 4‐0 road win over D.C. United on Wednesday night at RFK Stadium. The win capped a perfect 2‐0 road trip 

for Houston, which earned road wins over the LA Galaxy and D.C. United over a four day span. The Dynamo are now tied for 

first place in the Eastern Conference with the New York Red Bulls (6‐4‐2; 20 points). Bruin became the first player in Dynamo 

history to score two goals and deliver two assists in a single game. Bruin has now scored nine goals in nine career games 

against D.C. United (including playoffs), including a hat trick in 2011, a two‐goal performance last April, and another two‐

goal outing on Wednesday night. It was also Bruin’s first two‐assist game in his three‐year career. The opening goal started 

with Boniek Garcia playing a ball toward Bruin, who used a crafty touch to pull the ball from behind into his path and chip 

over a charging Bill Hamid for a 1‐0 lead. Houston capitalized on a poor clearance from Hamid for the second goal. The 

United goalkeeper’s clearance was stopped by Bruin ten yards from goal, and he centered the ball to Giles Barnes, who found 

the side of the net for a 2‐0 advantage and his fourth goal of the season. Brian Ching replaced Barnes after a hamstring injury 

and helped create Houston’s third goal, flicking a Brad Davis free kick to Bruin, who finished for his second goal of the night. 

For the fourth tally, Andrew Driver and Bruin combined down the left flank, with Bruin cutting a pass back in the path of 

Driver, who finished from eight yards for his third goal of the season.

 DYNAMO IN HISTORIC HOME TERRITORY 

The Dynamo set record for longest home unbeaten streak in all competitions in MLS history: With a 1‐1 draw against Colorado 

on April 28, the Dynamo extended their league record home unbeaten streak to 36 games in all competitions (includes regular 

season, playoffs and CONCACAF Champions League). The streak includes: 30 regular season games, a 2011 playoff win over 

Philadelphia (31 overall), two Champions League games in 2012 (33), playoff victories over Sporting KC and D.C. United in 2012 

(35) and a Champions League win over Santos Laguna on March 5 (36). Houston set the record with a 2‐1 win over the Chicago 

Fire on April 14 to surpass Real Salt Lake’s 34‐game mark set from 2009‐11.    

The Dynamo also set new MLS regular season home unbeaten streak record: The Dynamo extended their regular season home 

unbeaten streak to 30 games with a 1‐1 draw vs. Colorado on April 28. The streak eclipses Real Salt Lake’s previous regular season 

record of 29 games. The Dynamo have not lost a home game in over 22 months, with their last home defeat on June 18, 2011, a 2‐0 

loss to Columbus. The chart below details the longest regular season home unbeaten streaks in MLS history:

Dynamo streak vs. other American pro sports: Houston’s 36‐game home unbeaten streak in all competitions is the third‐longest in 

American pro sports history. Only the Chicago Bulls of the NBA (44 games, 1995‐96) and Montreal Canadians of the NHL (38 

games, 1976‐77) have a longer home unbeaten streak in the five major American professional sports. Here is the list of the longest 

home unbeaten in American professional sports history: 

 

Team  Home unbeaten streak Dates Sport

Chicago Bulls  44  3/30/1995 to 4/4/1996  NBA

Detroit Red Wings  23  11/5/2011 to 2/19/2012  NHL 

 

The Dynamo have the best all‐time home win percentage in Major League Soccer history. Furthermore, Houston has lost just 17 

home games in seven full seasons, an average of 2.43 home losses per year.

Dynamo complete fourth unbeaten home season in MLS history: The Dynamo went 11‐0‐6 (W‐L‐T) in regular season home 

games in 2012, becoming the fourth team in Major League Soccer history (est. 1996) to complete a season without a regular season 

home loss. Dominic Kinnear was also head coach of the 2005 San Jose Earthquakes, one of four teams to complete a perfect home 

season. The chart below lists the four perfect home seasons in Major League Soccer history:

COMPARING THE STREAKS: HOUSTON DYNAMO VS. REAL SALT LAKE  

Just over two years ago (April 27, 2011), Real Salt Lake’s historic 34‐game home unbeaten streak (in all competitions) came to 

an end with a 1‐0 home loss to C.F. Monterrey in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions League final. The run at home 

set a benchmark for home dominance that seemed untouchable to many. After all, only three teams in MLS history had 

regular season home unbeaten streaks of 18 games or more: Columbus Crew (22 games, 2008‐09); LA Galaxy (18 games, 2010‐

11) and the San Jose Earthquakes (18 games, 2004‐05). 

 

When comparing the Real Salt Lake’s streak from 2009‐11 to the current Dynamo home streak, they are amazingly similar in 

results and share several related themes. First, both clubs boasted fantastic defensive records at home, with Real Salt Lake 

conceding only 18 goals during their 34‐game home streak and the Dynamo allowing just 25 goals during their current          

36‐game home run. 

 

Here is a look at home the home unbeaten streaks compare, beginning with the respective streaks in all competitions 

(includes regular season, playoffs and CONCACAF Champions League): 

 

Houston Dynamo (2011‐current) – 36 games ‐ 26 wins‐0 losses‐10 draws – 70 Goals For, 25 Goals Against 

 

Real Salt Lake (2009‐11) – 34 games – 25 wins‐0 losses‐9 draws – 73 Goals For, 18 Goals Against 

 

How the streak was built: 

 

Houston Dynamo ‐ 36 games: 30 regular season, 3 playoffs, 3 Champions League 

 

Real Salt Lake – 34 games: 27 regular season, 2 playoffs, 5 Champions League 

 

Opponents faced during streak: 

 

Houston Dynamo – 20 clubs – 17 MLS opponents* and three more in the Champions League: C.D. FAS (El Salvador), C.D. 

Olimpia (Honduras), and Club Santos Laguna (Mexico) 

 

Real Salt Lake – 18 clubs – 15 MLS opponents** and three more in the Champions League: Arabe Unido (Panama), Cruz Azul 

(Mexico) and Deportivo Saprissa (Costa Rica) 

 

*The Dynamo have played every team in MLS during the streak except Chivas USA, which visits Houston on September 21. 

 

** Real Salt Lake defeated every other MLS team during its streak, except Portland, Vancouver and Montreal. Portland and 

Vancouver entered MLS in 2011 and didn’t play at Salt Lake before the streak ended. Montreal joined MLS in 2012. 

 

Most common victim: 

 

Houston Dynamo: D.C. United – The Dynamo have hosted D.C. United four times during the streak (three times in regular 

season and once in the playoffs) and won all four games. 

Real Salt Lake: Colorado Rapids – Real Salt Lake faced its Rocky Mountain rivals four times at home during its streak and 

avoided a defeat to its rivals with a 2‐0‐2 mark.  

 

Now, a look at the regular season streak for each club: 

 

Houston Dynamo – 30 games: 21 wins‐0 losses‐9 draws – 57 Goals For, 23 Goals Against 

Real Salt Lake – 29 games:  20 wins‐0 losses‐9 draws – 57 Goals For, 13 Goals Against

DYNAMO NOTES Dynamo record two road wins in four days for first time in team history: The Dynamo won two road games in a four‐day 

span for the first time in club history, with Sunday’s 1‐0 win at the Galaxy followed by Wednesday’s 4‐0 triumph at D.C. 

United. Playing two consecutive road games in four days is rare in club history, with the most recent occurrence in 2010, 

when the Dynamo lost both games in visits to New York (2‐1 loss) on June 2 and the LA Galaxy (4‐1 loss) on June 5.  

 

Dynamo match largest road win in franchise history: Wednesday’s 4‐0 win at D.C. United matched the largest road win in 

club history, Houston’s 4‐0 road triumph at Chicago on July 12, 2007. 

 

Dynamo win consecutive road games for third time in club history: This week’s two‐win road trip was the third time in 

club history the Dynamo have won two consecutive home games without a home game in between the road wins. Neither 

occasion came within a four‐day span. Last year, Houston won its first two road games of the season – a 1‐0 win at Chivas 

USA on May 11 and a 1‐0 victory at San Jose on March 17. In 2007, the Dynamo won consecutive road games, a 3‐1 road win 

over the Galaxy on Sept. 16 and a 3‐0 road triumph at FC Dallas on Sept. 30.     

Dynamo milestones and other notes from Wednesday’s 4‐0 win over D.C. United:   

Will Bruin became the first player in Dynamo history to score two goals and deliver two assists in a single game. 

The Dynamo have played 306 games in all competitions in their history, and Bruin is the first to record two goals 

and two assists in a single game. 

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Bruin is the first MLS player to record a two‐goal, two‐assist game since MLS 

all‐time scoring leader Jeff Cunningham pulled it off in 1999.     

Bruin has now scored nine goals in nine career games against D.C. United (including playoffs), including a hat trick 

in 2011, a two‐goal performance last April, and another two‐goal outing on Wednesday night. 

It was also Bruin’s first two‐assist game in his three‐year career. 

Bruin now has 25 career goals in all competitions.  

Brian Ching assisted on Bruin’s second goal on Wednesday for his 30th career assist with the Dynamo in all 

competitions. Ching passed Brian Mullan for second on the franchise list. Brad Davis is the franchise leader with 91 

assists. 

Ching also surpassed Mullan to reach fourth place on the club’s all‐time minutes list (14,740 in all competitions). 

Ching trails Brad Davis, Bobby Boswell and Pat Onstad on the minutes chart.    

Wednesday was Corey Ashe’s 150th start with the Dynamo in all competitions. He is the seventh Dynamo player in 

club history to make 150 starts, joining Davis, Bobby Boswell, Pat Onstad, Mullan, Ching, and Ricardo Clark. 

It was Boniek Garcia’s eighth regular season assist with the Dynamo. He passed Eddie Robinson and Mike 

Chabala and is tied for tenth on the franchise list with Dominic Oduro. 

Tally Hall reached 7,386 career regular season minutes to pass Richard Mulrooney for 12th on the franchise 

minutes list.   

 

Dynamo begin 2013 with best ten‐game start in club history: The Dynamo are now 6‐2‐2 (20 points) for the best ten‐game 

start to a season in club history. The current start tops the previous best (5‐2‐3), set in 2009, when the club gained 18 points 

from its first ten games. 

 

Dynamo second in MLS in goals: The Dynamo have scored 17 goals in ten games this season, second most in Major League 

Soccer behind the New York Red Bulls (18 goals) and Sporting Kansas City (14 goals). Houston has the best goals average in 

the league, with 1.7 goals per game, better than FC Dallas (1.6), the LA Galaxy (1.5), New York (1.5) and Portland (1.5). The 

Dynamo have scored in nine of ten games, with the only shutout a 2‐0 loss at Portland on April 6. Houston set a franchise 

record with 48 goals in the 2012 regular season and is on pace to score 57.8 goals this season.  

 

Dynamo, Red Bulls top Eastern Conference standings: The Dynamo (6‐2‐2) and New York Red Bulls (6‐4‐2) are tied for 

first place in the Eastern Conference with 20 points. Sporting Kansas City (5‐4‐2) and the Montreal Impact (5‐2‐2) are tied 

for third place with 17 points each.

Dynamo gain first road win against Galaxy since 2007: Houston’s 1‐0 win on Sunday night was its first road win against 

the Galaxy since Sept. 16, 2007, a 3‐1 win at the Home Depot Center. Houston was winless in seven straight games on the 

road at LA, with an 0‐6‐1 record, including three playoff defeats, before Sunday’s win.  

 

Houston secures first regular season road win since July 2012: Sunday’s win over the Galaxy was Houston’s first regular 

season road win since July 28, 2012, a 2‐0 win at Toronto FC. The Dynamo were 0‐6‐2 in eight regular season road games 

since their last win. Houston did earn a road win in the 2012 playoffs, a 2‐1 win at Chicago in the Eastern Conference 

Knockout Round.  

 

Bicoastal road trip: Sunday marked the beginning of a rare bicoastal road trip for the Dynamo, who faced the Galaxy in 

Carson, Calif. on Sunday night and met D.C. United in Washington D.C. on Wednesday. Houston flew directly from Los 

Angeles to Washington on Monday morning and trained at the United practice facility on Tuesday before Wednesday 

night’s game.  

 

Six of nine games on road: The Dynamo are currently in a stretch of six road games out of nine that began on April 20 in 

Toronto and ends on June 19 in Montreal. Houston is off to a good start, with wins over the Galaxy and D.C. United and a 

draw at Toronto FC for a seven‐point return from the first three road games of the stretch.  

 

2012 playoffs, round two: The Dynamo will complete a stretch of three games in eight days against 2012 playoff opponents 

on Sunday. After a rematch of the 2012 MLS Cup last Sunday, the Dynamo faced D.C. United, who they defeated in the 

Eastern Conference Championship, on Wednesday. The week concludes with Sunday’s home game against Sporting Kansas 

City, the top seed in the 2012 Eastern Conference playoffs before they were eliminated by the Dynamo in the Eastern 

Conference semifinals, 2‐1 on aggregate. 

 

Better late than never: The Dynamo have scored 8 of 17 goals in the 2013 regular season after the 75th minute, the most late 

goals in MLS. In addition, Houston has scored 10 of 17 goals after the 60th minute, and 12 of 17 goals after halftime. The 

late goals continue a trend for Houston, which set a franchise record with 17 goals in the final 15 minutes of games in 2012 

after scoring 14 late goals in 2011. The 17 late goals in a season were historic, with only the 2012 San Jose Earthquakes (22) 

and 2009 Real Salt Lake (19) scoring more goals after the 75th minute since 2006 (more details on page 7). The Dynamo also 

scored a late goal (Brad Davis, 89th minute) in a 1‐0 win over Santos Laguna on March 5.   

 

Red card rarity: Brad Davis was issued a red card in second half stoppage time against Colorado on April 28. It was the 

second straight game a Dynamo player was ejected after Jermaine Taylor saw red in the 62nd minute at Toronto on April 

20 for a challenge on Robert Earnshaw. The red cards are rare for each player, as it was the first red car Taylor has received 

in three seasons (55 regular season and playoff games) with Houston. It was Davis’ first red card since 2009 and just the 

fourth of his career (317 career regular season and playoff games).       

 

Dynamo become third team in U.S. pro sports history to play 20 games in new stadium without defeat: With a 2‐0 win 

over San Jose on March 30, the Dynamo became one of only three teams in the history of the major North American 

professional sports leagues to go undefeated in their first 20 regular season games at a home venue. (The Dynamo are now 

undefeated in 22 regular season games at BBVA Compass Stadium after Sunday’s draw with Colorado.) The first team to 

reach 20 home games in a new home without defeat was the Washington Capitols of the Basketball Association of America 

(predecessor of todayʹs NBA), who won their first 27 games at Uline Arena in 1946‐1947. The team was coached by Red 

Auerbach (his first season in the league). The second team to go undefeated in their first 20 regular season games at a home 

venue was the Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA, who won their first 22 games at Staples Center (2001‐2002). *Note courtesy

other ten starters from the 2012 MLS Cup final all started on March 2 vs. D.C. United. The chart below details the offseason

Hall breaks former mentor Pat Onstad’s shutout record: Goalkeeper Tally Hall recorded 12 shutouts in the 2012 regular 

season, eclipsing former teammate Pat Onstad, who set an individual franchise record with 11 shutouts in 2007, when the 

club had a total of 13 clean sheets in 30 regular season games. Hall finished tied for second in the league in shutouts, trailing 

Jimmy Nielsen of Sporting Kansas City (15).  

 

Dynamo best possession team in MLS in 2012: The Dynamo were the best overall possession team in Major League Soccer 

in 2012, with 55.93% possession in the regular season. Houston won the possession battle in 27 of 34 regular season games. 

In addition, the Dynamo’s 81.5% passing accuracy was second best in the league.  

 

Davis reaches 20 for second straight season: Brad Davis has reached a combined 20 goals and assists each of the last two 

years, with 8 goals (a career‐high) and 12 assists in 2012, after the midfielder reached 20 with 4 goals and 16 assists (another 

career‐high) in 2011. Davis’ achievement each of the last two years is remarkable because no other player in Dynamo history 

has ever recorded 20 combined goals and assists in a single regular season. Davis also has four of the best five combined 

totals in team history. Here are the highest combined totals in club history:

2009. Davis finished with the fifth most assists in the league in 2012, trailing Graham Zusi (15) of Sporting Kansas City.   

 

Bruin matches goals mark for MLS second year professionals: Forward Will Bruin scored 12 regular season goals in 2012, 

matching the all‐time MLS record for second‐year professionals. That mark was set by Jeff Cunningham with Columbus in 

1999 and later matched by Rodrigo Faria of the New York MetroStars in 2002. 

 

2012 Dynamo team awards: Brad Davis won his fourth consecutive team Most Valuable Player award in 2012. Boniek

4 goals and 6 assists in 17 regular season games. The Dynamo went 9‐4‐6 with a +10 goal difference in the regular season 

after Garciaʹs debut. The 28‐year‐old Designated Player signed with Houston in June 2012 after playing for Honduran 

powerhouse C.D. Olimpia since 2003. The midfielder debuted for the Honduras national team in 2005 and has 81 

appearances for his country, including five appearances in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup.  

 

Dynamo scored third most late goals in MLS since 2006 last season: The Dynamo scored 17 goals in the final 15 minutes of 

games in 2012. The 17 late goals in a season were historic, with only the 2012 San Jose Earthquakes (22) and 2009 Real Salt 

Lake (19) scoring more goals after the 75th minute in a season since the Dynamo entered the league in 2006. 17 late goals is 

also a franchise record, eclipsing the previous mark of 14, set in 2011. Houston scored a total of 48 regular season goals in 

2012, with the goals in the final 15 minutes of matches accounting for a full 35% of its goals.
