The Houston Dynamo's second foray into the CONCACAF Champions League has left their quarterfinal chances to the very last matchday -- with their fate in some other club's hands. And unlike yesterday's matches involving MLS squads, the Dynamo must get three points in El Salvador against Isidro Metapan (10pm, FSC) in order to have any hope of finishing second in Group A.
Even with a win tonight, Arabe Unido must lose to Pachuca in Group A action (8pm, Telefutura) for Houston to qualify. So prior to its match against Metapan, Houston could already be eliminated. Unido sits at 10 points, three ahead of Houston, put themselves in this position with a 4-1 win against Pachuca back on August. Isidro Metapan has failed to score a goal or record a point.
A win combined with a Unido loss would leave both teams tied at 10 points apiece in Group A, with Houston holding the head-to-head tiebreaker. They beat Arabe Unido 5-1 at home and drew 1-1 on the road.
