SuperLiga: Boswell that ends well

JULY 29
Pachuca 0-2 Houston (Robertson Stadium)
The Houston Dynamo knocked out the 2007 SuperLiga champs Pachuca 2-0 at Robertson Stadium tonight to advance to the finals of the Mexican-U.S. club competition.

It hasn't been the season they hoped for in MLS for the Houston Dynamo, but in SuperLiga they've played more like the 2007 Houston Dynamo than the 2008 version. After dominating for long stretches in the first half, Pachuca looked strong out of the gate in the second half. Pachuca had a goal called back for a bogus offside call and then things went from bad to worse for the Mexican club, as Dynamo defender Bobby Boswell tucked in a Craig Waibel glancing header to make it 1-0 Houston in the 77th minute. Then, Substitute Corey Ashe added another in a similar play, heading in a cross that found its way to the young midfielder at the back post in the 87th minute.

The Dynamo will face the winner of tomorrow night's match -- New England vs. Atlante at Gillette Stadium -- on August 5.
