The road to winning the West ends in Seattle.
On Sunday evening, the Houston Dynamo upset top-seed Portland by an aggregate score of 2-1 in the Western Conference Semifinals. The result advanced the Dynamo to the Western Conference Championship to face the Sounders, who topped the Vancouver Whitecaps in the other semifinal. The Dynamo secured the fourth seed with a 13-10-11 record in the regular season, then defeated Sporting KC 1-0 in the Knockout Round late last month.
The Sounders will visit Houston's BBVA Compass Stadium on Tuesday, November 21 in the first leg of the Western Conference Championship.
