Wizards slip past Houston 4-3
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) -- Josh Wolff came on as a late sub and
scored on a diving header seven minutes into second-half
stoppage time, and the Kansas City Wizards overcame a two-goal
deficit to top the Houston Dynamo 4-3 on Wednesday night.
Wolff, who entered in the 85th minute, connected on a cross from
Michael Harrington to complete the Wizards' first winning rally
from two goals down since a 4-3 victory over New England on May
26, 2007.
The Wizards' comeback began with Teal Bunbury's goal in the 60th
minute, and Dynamo defender Adrian Serioux was charged with an
own-goal in the 72nd that tied the match at 3.
Kansas City (9-9-6) has lost just one of its past 10 and beat
Houston at home for the first time in five meetings. Houston
(6-14-5) lost its fourth straight and has won just one of its
past 15.
Dominic Oduro and Serioux scored four minutes apart in the first
half for Houston - with a goal in between from Kansas City's Kei
Kamara.
Cam Weaver opened the scoring in the 13th minute for the Dynamo.
Oduro's 34th-minute goal gave Houston a 2-0 lead. Kamara
answered a minute later for the Wizards, but Serioux made it 3-1
in the 37th.
