Coming into last night's matchup, Pachuca was heavily favored, but that didn't mean a thing to the reigning MLS Champs. Led by Brian Ching and Chris Wondolowski, who both scored goals, the Dynamo left Roberston Stadium
with a 2-0 victory with a rematch slated for April 5 in Pachuca in the final leg of the CONCACAF semifinal. The Orange Crush scored first in the 57th minute as Brian Ching headed a pass from Craig Waibel past Pacuhca goal keeper Miguel Calero. With the game winding down, Dynamo coach Dominick Kinnear made a game changing substituition as Chris Wondolowski entered for Brian Ching. What seemed like a few seconds after stepping on the field, Wondolowski made a statement by punching in the game sealer in the 84th minute leaving Pachuca with nothing but questions to answer. In order for Pachuca to advance outright, they have to win by three goals. A two goal win by Pachuca would lead to penalty kicks that will deterimine who advances to the next round.
