Their 3-1 win against Colorado on the road Saturday night clinched them a playoff berth, following Columbus as the second team to secure a postseason spot, but the Dynamo continue to take each match as a head-on challenge. by Bob Rusert 5 Oct 2008 at 6:08pm Even though the Chicago Fire had gained more clear chances in the first half Sunday, the Kansas City Wizards were still heading into the second half at home in a crucial game no worse off than they began the game.

Javier Morales' 13th-minute goal staked RSL to a 1-0 lead at the break. RSL came in and dictated the pace of the game as the Revs couldn't get started and couldn't start their passing game. by Craig Merz 4 Oct 2008 at 11:21pm The Columbus Crew keep coming up with different ways to get the same result as their drive to the Supporters' Shield continues. by Douglas McIntyre 4 Oct 2008 at 11:11pm A few weeks ago, it looked like Toronto FC's playoff hopes were dead and buried.
