Sounders vs. Dynamo, live streaming: kickoff, lineups, update

The Seattle Sounders face a Houston Dynamo team that will look very familiar. Like the Sounders, the Dynamo players play solid defense, almost as much through possession as actual defense. Like the Sounders, the Dynamo are not the most efficient offense.

Although the Sounders have beaten Houston in the past, especially at home, they should not be taken lightly. The Sounders were 1-0-1 in the two meetings this year. The Dynamo will also have both Hector Herrera and Ezequiel Ponce, neither of whom were available in the previous meetings.

• This is Game 1 of a best-of-3 series, meaning there is no overall standings. If there is a tie at the end of regular time, there will be a shootout. The first team with two wins advances.
• The Dynamo led the league in ball possession and conceded the third-fewest goals. They also scored fewer goals than any other Western Conference playoff team.
• This will be the Sounders’ third time facing the Dynamo in the playoffs. The Sounders won their last meeting in 2017 5-0 overall.
• The Sounders are 5-1 in the multi-game playoff series under Brian Schmetzer, which includes a win over FC Dallas in last year’s best-of-3 series.
