So last night New York Red Bulls took down FC Dallas at Pizza Hut Park to become the first team to advance out of the wildcard games. They subbed in Mehdi Ballouchy in the scoen half, and he immediately made an impact, getting the ball to Joel Lindpere who slotted home the eventual game winning goal. Thierry Henry score his first career MLS Cup playoff goal deep into stoppage time to make the full time result 0-2.
Tonight the Colorado Rapids went into the Eastern Conference with a home win over the Columbus Crew at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Omar Cummings scored the game's only goal right before half time. They built on a nice effort from Brian Mullan and Sanna Nyassi, and also managed to keep Mendoza quiet and ineffective for the Crew.
So the MLS season is now over for Columbus and FC Dallas. New York Red Bulls will host the LA Galaxy in the first of a two legged series this weekend. The Rapids will host Sporting KC in the first leg of that semi final as well.
Congrats to both clubs that managed to keep their seasons alive for at least a couple more games.
