MLS in the Driver’s Seat
Both the Houston Dynamo and DC United showed their value in their 1st Leg CONCACAF Champions’ Cup Semifinal matches against traditionally strong Mexican sides.
The Dynamo are clearly in the better position as they defeated Pachuca, newly crowed Copa Sudamericana Champions, (2-0) in Houston while DC United needed a 90th min. strike from recently acquired Brazilian striker Luciano Emilio, who headed DC level (1-1) against Guadalajara in DC.
Now the American teams have to travel down to hostile territory to secure the dream of qualifying for the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2007, as the winner of this tournament wins the right to compete against the crème de la crème.
Both 2nd Leg Matches will be played in Mexico—Chivas vs. DC United (April 3rd) and Pachuca vs. Houston Dynamo (April 5th).
Both teams just need one more strong performance to make it an All-American affair in the CONCACAF Champions’ Cup Final.
