KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Tyler Deric picked the best possible time to put on a cape.
Houston's Homegrown goalkeeper made nine saves on Sunday night, preserving a scoreless draw with Sporting Kansas City that saw the Dynamo clinch a spot in the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2013.
“I was with the team when we were in the playoffs and it was a good feeling,” Deric told reporters after the match, as joyous Latin music pulsed even through the closed locker room doors behind him.
