The Dynamo haven’t allowed a goal in three games, extending their home unbeaten streak with a 4-0 triumph against D.C. United last Sunday.

It was the second time the teams had met with a trip to the MLS Cup Final on the line (also 2007, also won 2-0 by Houston).  After winning the first meeting ever between the clubs, April 8, 2006 at Robertson Stadium, Kansas City has not won in Houston. The Dynamo have won three of the six MLS league and cup meetings since at home (with three draws).  In league play, Sporting have a four-game unbeaten streak alive vs. Houston, winning the two meetings in Kansas City before the first match draw this year.  Coaches record: Dominic Kinnear vs. KC: P19 W7 L5 D7 … Peter Vermes vs. HOU: P6 W2 L1 D3 LAST MEETING (MLS) 7/7: KC 0, HOU 0  The closest either team came to scoring came in the 33rd minute, when Sporting's Jacob Peterson ripped a low shot off the left post.  Houston had a chance to steal the game late, but it was thwarted when defender Aurélien Collin and goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen combined to stop Brian Ownby’s shot in the 90th minute.  Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall had four saves, while Nielsen was credited with two, for their respective shutouts.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-3-1): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Paulo Nagamura, Roger Espinoza - Jacob Peterson, Graham Zusi, Kei Kamara (Soony Saad 81) C.J. Sapong (Teal Bunbury 68).  HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-3-3): Tally Hall - Andre Hainault, Jermaine Taylor, Bobby Boswell, Corey Ashe - Luiz Camargo (Warren Creavalle 66), Adam Moffat, Brad Davis - Boniek Garcia, Will Bruin (Brian Ching 66), Macoumba Kandji (Brian Ownby 80). HOUSTON DYNAMO The Houston Dynamo extended their undefeated streak to four games overall, rolling to a 4-0 win against a 10-man D.C. United on Sunday evening at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo are in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with 28 points from 19 games.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

LAST MATCH  The match turned quickly. In the 17th minute, United 'keeper Bill Hamid charged out to cut down a Mac Kandji sprint in the box and took down the Dynamo striker, and referee Jasen Anno immediately pointed to the spot and also showed Hamid a red card. Brad Davis stepped up to rip the spot kick past a newly introduced Joe Willis.  The Dynamo struck again just before halftime. After Boniek García played Luiz Camargo to the end line, the Brazilian took a touch and slid a pass past a lunging Willis, leaving an easy tap-in for a streaking Will Bruin.  Houston made it 3-0 in the 62nd minute when Davis set Andre Hainault up on the right flank to deliver a wellcrafted cross to a waiting García, and the Dynamo Designated Player headed home his first MLS goal.  The Dynamo capped the night after Anno pointed to spot again in the 88th minute when Danny Cruz took down Calen Carr at the end line. Brian Ching stepped up to convert the second penalty of the night for the home side.  Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear made one change to the team that reached a scoreless draw with Sporting Kansas City at Livestrong Sporting Park. Geoff Cameron came back into the midfield, in place of Adam Moffat.  HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-3-3): Tally Hall - Andre Hainault, Jermaine Taylor, Bobby Boswell, Corey Ashe - Luiz Camargo, Geoff Cameron, Brad Davis (Je-Vaughn Watson 73) - Boniek Garcia, Will Bruin (Brian Ching 64), Macoumba Kandji (Calen Carr 64) TEAM NEWS  The Dynamo have now gone eight league games without loss at BBVA Compass Stadium (5-0-3) and haven’t lost in league play at home in 17 matches, since June 18, 2011.  The four-game undefeated run coincides with Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear’s shift to a 4-3-3 tactical scheme – which also saw the introduction of Garcia to the first XI.  “We are still trying to find our way through the system. Sometimes it seems like we know what we are doing and sometimes it seems like we are neither here nor there,” said Kinnear. “Both Mac and Oscar [Boniek Garcia] are a little bit different. Mac is dangerous running behind and Oscar causes trouble when he has the ball at his feet.”  Will Bruin scored his 10th goal of the season, pulling into a tie for third place in the MLS Golden Boot standings.  “We finished our chances and we’re starting to click in this formation and that’s a good thing,” said Bruin. “After not scoring in the last two games, it felt good to put four on the board – whether it’s against 10 men or not.” Said Macoumba Kandji: “This formation, we’re trying to get space on the wing. Today is the best that we’ve shown that and hopefully we keep on doing it.”  Honduran international Boniek Garcia scored his first MLS goal, having made four consecutive starts for the club.  “The space has to be created. It's part of my game plan. Luckily for me, there is a good understanding between my teammates and I. I'm blessed in the fact that they understand me, they know what I'm about and they help me create that space,” said Garcia.  The Dynamo have also recorded shutouts in three consecutive matches, and have seven clean sheets for the season. All have come in consecutive matches (back-to-back shutouts twice earlier).  "I think it's a group thing. They didn't have too many looks on goal. I think it's the whole team unit. Everyone is together,” said goalkeeper Tally Hall. “It's a team goal and when the team accomplishes that it's a beautiful thing. Goalkeepers get a lot of credit for shutouts but I can't take too much credit with the way the team is playing in front of me.”  It was the second consecutive year – and third in the last four – the Dynamo have scored four goals in a win against D.C. United. It was the club’s largest margin of victory in a league game since a 4-0 win against Chivas USA on Aug. 20, 2008 at Robertson Stadium.  “We talked about it before the game, as soon as he plays it, we could play a give-and-go and they’d have to deal with his speed,” fullback Corey Ashe said of Kandji. “Danny [Cruz] and [Chris] Pontius had to tuck in and, when the ball was on the right, Andre would have time and space, and when it was on the left, I’d have time and space. It was just isolating and keeping them moving. Even if we didn’t have the ball, they had to respect and it kind of wore them down.” SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City regained the top spot in the Eastern Conference, knocking off the Columbus Crew 2-0 on Saturday evening at Crew Stadium. Sporting now have 36 points from 19 matches. LAST MATCH  The combination of Peterson and Peterson put Sporting into the lead in the sixth minute. Peterson Joseph threaded a perfect through-ball between three defenders near the top of the box for Jacob Peterson, and he cleanly slotted home past goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum.  SKC put the game away with eight minutes remaining. On a quick counter after a midfield interception, Kei Kamara slid a centering pass for Teal Bunbury to drive home from the heart of the area.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



Sporting head coach Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that played to a scoreless draw with the Houston Dynamo at Livestrong Sporting Park. Peterson Joseph came into the midfield for Graham Zusi, and Soony Saad 81 started up top in place of C.J. Sapong.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-3-1): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Paulo Nagamura, Roger Espinoza - Kei Kamara, Peterson Joseph (Michael Thomas 72), Jacob Peterson (C.J. Sapong 38) - Soony Saad (Teal Bunbury 52). TEAM NEWS  After losing back-to-back games, Sporting have now won two of their last three in a three-game unbeaten run – both victories coming away from Livestrong Sporting Park.  “I think we were really solid defensively, we didn’t give much away,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “I think it was hard for them to break us down and I think they got a little frustrated. We scored a great goal early on, we talked about finding some seams in behind …in the end we defended very well we really grinded the game out and that was huge for us.”  Jacob Peterson scored his second goal in the last three games – his third of the season – to send SKC on their way to the win in Columbus.  “We came here in the middle of a 10-day road swing and we got the three points which is what we set out to do,” said Peterson. “We scored two great goals and Jimmy [Nielsen] made some good saves back there and it kept them out of the back of the net.”  But there was a downside when Peterson was forced off before the end of the first half with an injury. “I saw him when I was walking in at halftime and I asked him how he was doing, and he said, ‘Ah, I’ll be OK,’” Vermes said. “I don’t know what that means. I don’t think that’s a technical medical term. … He’s a tough dude. I know he won’t prolong this thing by any means. He’ll try to get back on the field as soon as possible.”  Making his second start of the season in the attacking midfield role, Peterson Joseph – the “Haitian Xavi” – recorded his first career MLS assist.  “It was a fantastic through ball to hit Jake’s run,” Vermes said. “Great run by Jake as well, but that was a great through ball. At the end of the day, when you get a through ball and a finish like that, it puts a lot of pressure on them early in the game.”  Soony Saad also returned to the starting lineup after four league appearances off the substitutes’ bench, his second start of the season (first since June 20).  “Having to burn that sub in the first half, that hurt a little bit,” Vermes said. “We also had Soony (Saad) and (Peterson) Joseph that I knew wouldn’t be able to go 90 minutes, so I already knew that was two subs there. So that really put us in a bind, but at the end the guys did a great job and figured out a way to get it done.”  Goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen was credited with his eighth shutout of the season, tying him for the MLS lead with Vancouver goalkeeper Joe Cannon.  “I think they created their chances but unfortunately for them it wasn’t their night,” said Nielsen. “They hit the crossbar and had another few good chances but I am very happy with the win and with the way we reacted on the field. It is a performance to be proud of.”  SKC’s Roger Espinoza left following the weekend’s matches to join the Honduras team for the 2012 London Olympic Games.

DYNAMO VS. SPORTING KC: TWO SURGING CLUBS MEET 11 DAYS AFTER DRAW The Houston Dynamo (7‐5‐7; 28 points) continue their stretch of three home games in seven days with another rematch of the 2011 Eastern Conference final as they host Sporting Kansas City (11‐5‐3; 36 points) on Wednesday. The Dynamo secured their largest victory of the season on Sunday, a 4‐0 triumph over D.C. United. Sporting Kansas City registered a 2‐0 road victory over the Columbus Crew on Saturday. Both clubs are playing well of late, with the Dynamo unbeaten in four games (2‐0‐2) and SKC unbeaten in its last three games (2‐0‐1). Wednesday’s meeting comes just 11 days after the clubs met in Kansas City on July 7 and played to a 0‐0 draw. They Dynamo are in fifth place in the Eastern Conference, eight points behind first‐place Sporting KC. The third and final meeting between Houston and Kansas City is Sept. 14 at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park.

DYNAMO PROJECTED STARTING LINEUP (4‐3‐3, Right‐Left) Tally Hall; Andre Hainault, Bobby Boswell, Jermaine Taylor, Corey Ashe; Luiz Camargo, Geoff Cameron, Brad Davis; Boniek Garcia, Will Bruin, Macoumba Kandji

DYNAMO NOTES 

Dynamo rout United with four‐star performance: The Dynamo made the most of a man advantage on Sunday, scoring four goals after D.C. goalkeeper Bill Hamid was sent off in the 17th minute for a rash challenge on Macoumba Kandji in the box. Brad Davis (penalty), Will Bruin, Boniek Garcia and Brian Ching (penalty) would each score for the Dynamo in the 4‐0 win. Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall earned his third consecutive shutout as the Dynamo took the season series, with two wins in three games over United.



Lopsided victory: Sunday’s 4‐0 win marked the first time the Dynamo have scored four goals in a game since April 29, 2011, when they beat D.C. United, 4‐1, at Robertson Stadium. It was Houston’s largest margin of victory in a regular season match since Aug. 20, 2008, when it defeated Chivas USA, 4‐0, at Robertson Stadium.



Three’s Company (shutouts): The Dynamo have recorded three consecutive shutouts for the first time since May 30 – June 10, 2009, when they earned three shutout wins versus Toronto FC, Chicago and Chivas USA.



Scoreless Streak: The Dynamo have a long way to go to approach their club and MLS record for minutes without allowing a goal. The 2007 championship club set a MLS record by playing 727 minutes without allowing a goal. The streak started on 6/10/07 in a 2‐1 win vs. Columbus and included eight shutouts before the streak ended in a 3‐3 draw with New England on 7/22/11. Pat Onstad was in goal for 524 of the minutes, while Zach Wells kept the streak alive with 180 minutes in net.



Ching ties Wolff, McBride for 12th on MLS all‐time goal list: Dynamo forward Brian Ching scored his 80th career MLS regular season goal with his penalty on Sunday. Ching moved past Preki and is now tied with Josh Wolff (still active with D.C. United) and Brian McBride for 12th on the all‐time scoring list. Ching is now two goals away from tying Raul Diaz Arce, who is next on the chart with 82 goals.



Bruin hits ten goals: Dynamo forward Will Bruin scored his tenth goal of the season on Sunday vs. United, finishing into an empty net off a great feed from Luiz Camargo. The second‐year forward is now tied for third in the MLS Golden Boot race with Alvaro Saborio of Real Salt Lake. San Jose striker Chris Wondolowski leads MLS with 17 goals.



Hall surpasses 2011 shutout total: With his seventh clean sheet of the season on Sunday against D.C. United, Tally Hall eclipsed his shutout total of six from 2011. Hall is tied for third in the league in shutouts with Nick Rimando of Real Salt Lake. Jimmy Nielsen (SKC) and Joe Cannon (VAN) are tied for the league lead with eight shutouts.

Sporting Kansas City News, Notes and headlines RESULTS | Sporting Kansas City currently sit in first place of the Eastern Conference with a record of 11-5-3 (36 points). The team had a historic start to 2012, garnering seven straight wins to begin the season. However, Kansas City experienced a slight decrease in their momentum losing three games in a row before earning a draw against Western Conference foe Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The momentum was back in Kansas City’s favor as the team won two Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup games against Orlando City SC and Colorado Rapids and added two MLS victories against the San Jose Earthquakes and Toronto FC. Sporting KC then went on the road and earned a tie at CenturyLink Field against Western Conference foe Seattle Sounders. The club has ten wins this season after just 17 matches. It took them 26 games in 2011 until they got their tenth win on August 28, 2011. Sporting KC experienced a second short slump in MLS play, suffering a 4-0 defeat to the Philadelphia Union at PPL Park followed by a 1-0 loss to rival Chicago Fire at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. However, in between the two MLS matches, Sporting Kansas City hosted the Dayton Dutch Lions in Open Cup competition, in which they earned a 3-0 victory to send them to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semi-finals. Sporting Kansas City got back on track in MLS competition in July when they beat Montreal 3-1 at Saputo Stadium followed by 0-0 home draw with the Houston Dynamo and then most recently coming off a 2-0 victory over the Columbus Crew moving them back up the standings and into sole possession of first place among Eastern Conference rivals.

A week later, Sporting defeated fellow MLS club Colorado Rapids, 2-0, to advance to the cup quarterfinals for the second straight season. A comprehensive 3-0 win over USL Pro’s Dayton Dutch Lions on June 26 booked Sporting’s spot in the semifinals at Philadelphia on Wednesday.
