2006 MLS Cup

Today, the New England Revolution played the Houston Dynamo for the 2006 MLS Cup. This was the Revolution's third trip to the cup and the past two times, they had lost. Today, was a completely different day for the Revolution.

The first and second halves were quite dull with very few optimal scoring chances on each side. As the whistle had blown to signal the end of regulation, the score ws tied 0-0. The game would go into overtime and once again, the first half of overtime was dull.

Within 10 minutes of the second overtime, Twellman was able to put the ball in the back of the net from the left to right side. Twellman thought he had just scored the game winner, but literally 20 seconds, the Dynamo's Ching scored a header.

The game woulld end with the Dynamo winning in Pk's, 4-3. The man of the match was un arguably Brian Ching finishing the day with one overtime goal as well as one PK. An ok game on both sides, but tonight, only one team would leave Pizza Hut Park happy; the Houston Dynamo.


Brian Ching, #25, Forward
