Dynamo repeat as MLS Champions

 

 

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Houston Dynamo became the first team in a decade to successfully defend the Major League Soccer title when it rallied to beat the New England Revolution 2-1 in the final on Sunday.

Dwayne De Rosario's powerful 12-meter header in the 74th minute capped Houston's comeback from a goal down at halftime.The Dynamo have won the championship both years since the team disbanded as the San Jose Earthquakes and was reborn in Texas last year, beating the Revolution both times. The Earthquakes also won the title in 2001 and 2003, which makes for a dominant run of four championships in six years for several Houston players.

The Dynamo became MLS' first back-to-back champions since D.C. United won the league's first two titles in 1996 and 1997.

The Revolution, meanwhile, fell at the final hurdle for the fourth time. New England lost the 2002 and 2005 MLS Cups in overtime and was beaten in a penalty kick shootout following overtime last year.
