Dynamo's season ends with playoff loss to Red Bulls
There will be no three-peat after all. All that dynasty talk will have to wait at least another year.
The Dynamo’s aspirations of winning a third straight MLS Cup came crashing down — and hard — on an otherwise beautiful Sunday afternoon. Before a near-capacity crowd of 30,053. At home, no less.
The Dynamo couldn’t stop the stampede that was Dane Richards and the New York Red Bulls, who are headed to the Western Conference final thanks to a 3-0 upset victory, arguably the biggest in franchise history, that clinched them the home-and-home semifinal series 4-1 in aggregate in what will register as one of the biggest upsets in MLS playoff history.
The teams had played to a 1-1 tie at Giants Stadium last weekend. The Red Bulls, an Eastern Conference team, are in the Western bracket after squeezing into the playoffs as a wild card and a No. 4 seed.
In the end, the cool, sunny weather and the rabid orange-clad fans were the only things the Dynamo, the top seed in the West, had in their favor. The home-field edge, regular-season stats and vast playoff experience were rendered meaningless.
“I feel sick to my stomach,” coach Dominic Kinnear said. “I think it’s the most lopsided 3-0 loss I’ve ever seen in my life.
“You have to score to win games, and that was very evident today. Sometimes you make your own luck. They made a lot of luck, but we didn’t.”
Richards, a former San Jacinto College standout, and star striker Juan Pablo Angel netted first-half goals, and John Wolyniec sealed the scoring with nine minutes left in the game to send New York to a conference final for only the second time and first since 2000.
It was only the Red Bulls’ second road victory this season.
For the Dynamo, it was the end of home supremacy in the playoffs. They entered the match 4-0 in the playoffs at Robertson Stadium. More disturbing, it was the first time in three seasons the Dynamo suffered an early exit.
As unimaginable as the outcome was — not only had the Red Bulls never won at Robertson, but the Dynamo had dropped only one home game during the regular season – it was even harder for the two-time defending champions to stomach.
“It’s just one of those games,” forward Kei Kamara said. “Whatever we did, it wasn’t going for us.”
Besides netting the eventual game-winner in the 25th minute, Richards, a speedy right winger from Jamaica, set up New York’s other two scores, including launching a cross that brushed the hand of Ricardo Clark for a penalty-kick call that Angel punched home for a 2-0 lead in the 36th minute.
