Everybody knows the Dynamo can score goals in bunches. The biggest thing they have in their favor heading into the playoffs, however, is that they finally are starting to prevent them, too.
It is rare for the Dynamo to shut down opponents, but their ability to scratch and claw their way by blocking shots and swarming to loose balls has improved by the month.
They have used that formula to secure two-straight shutouts heading into Thursday’s knockout round game against Sporting Kansas City at BBVA Compass Stadium.
They have conceded two goals in their last four games – a stark contrast to the beginning of the season when they were shipping goals by the bushel.
