Today's starting lineup
The Dynamo ended their season in the first round of the playoffs with a 7-6 loss on penalties to the Seattle Sounders on Sunday at Shell Energy Stadium, just six days after the Sounders won Game 1 on penalties following Dynamo midfielder Coco Carrasquilla's red card. It was a disappointing end to an otherwise historic season. The Dynamo set club records for points and road wins and made the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the first time in 11 years.
