Fall is officially in the air\u00a0this morning. And you know what that means: the playoff hunt is in full effect.<\/p>\n
One team that\u00a0came closer to\u00a0realizing\u00a0its postseason dream was Kansas City<\/strong>, who overcame a two goal-deficit at the half to beat Houston<\/strong> 4-3 at CommunityAmerica Ballpark. Cam Weaver (13′) and Dominic Oduro (34′) gave the bottomfeeding Dynamo a surprising advantage. Oduro’s goal was\u00a0 immediately responded to when\u00a0Kei Kamara (35′) halved the lead. Adrian Serioux (37′) reclaimed the two-goal lead before the half with Houston looking at a potential upset. That was until Kansas came out of the interval with a fury,\u00a0and a second half that saw\u00a0Teal Bunbury (60′) , an own goal by Serioux (72′), and a stoppage time strike from Josh Wolff (97′) handed Houston a heartbreaker.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in extra-MLS meanderings, Real Salt Lake<\/strong> outpowered Arabe Unido<\/strong> 3-2 in Panama City in\u00a0 Group A of the CONCACAF Champions League. Williams Aguilar (2′) provided an immediate lead for ArabeU – a lead that would not last more than\u00a0eight minutes, as fellow namesake Will Johnson’s brace (10′, 43′) sandwiched\u00a0teammate Alvaro Saborio’s goal (36′). Mario Angulo (53′) converted a penalty to keep it close, but Real Salt Lake prevailed.<\/p>\n Finally, Seattle<\/strong> came within 16 minutes of\u00a0becoming the first MLS club to taste victory on Mexican soil after collecting an own goal (28′) along with a Michael Fucito score (44′) in the first half of their CCL match against Monterrey<\/strong>. But\u00a0los Rayados<\/em>\u00a0retaliated with a four-minute fury late in the second frame when Aldo Di Nigris (74′), Humberto Suazo (75′), and Luis Perez (78′) to give them a thrilling, 3-2 victory at Estadio Tecnologico.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fall is officially in the air\u00a0this morning.
