MLS Cup Playoffs: Dynamo Frustrate Eight-Man Impact; Earn Shot At Red Bulls

At Houston:

Will Bruin scored twice (16', 72') while Oscar Boniek Garcia converted a penalty kick in the 27th minute as the Houston Dynamo ruined the Montreal Impact's first MLS Cup Playoff appearance Thursday night with a 3-0 Eastern Conference Knockoff Round home victory.  The Impact ended the game with ten men as Nelson Rivas (70'), Andreas Romero (89'), and Marco Di Vaio (89') all were ejected via the red card.

The Dynamo will next face the New York Red Bulls in a two-game Eastern Conference semifinal series which starts Sunday afternoon in Houston.  The return match takes place Tuesday night at Harrison, New Jersey.
