HOUSTON – Houston backup goalkeeper Joe Willis is no stranger to the situation he’ll enter into on Sunday in Leg 2 of the Dynamo’s Western Conference Semifinal bout against the Portland Timbers (6:30 p.m. CT; FS1 | WATCH PARTY).
Willis, the presumed starter after Houston’s No. 1 goalkeeper Tyler Deric was suspended pending an investigation into an alleged domestic dispute, has had to replace a stellar ‘keeper before.
When Willis was a member of D.C. United in 2012, he came on late in the second leg of the Black-and-Red’s playoff series against the New York Red Bulls after starter Bill Hamid was ejected.
