... 3-3. Both teams would convert their next round but miss the fifth as it was 4-4 after five rounds. Brandon Prideaux of the Chicago Fire had his penalty kick saved and RSL had a chance to win it. Ned Grabavoy stepped up and scored for RSL as they upset the Fire 5-4 on penalties and advanced to the MLS Cup Final. They will now face the LA Galaxy next Sunday at Qwest Field in Seattle....

... in the MLS Eastern Conference final. His final save -- diving to his left to stop the Fire's Brandon Prideaux -- paved the way for midfielder Ned Grabavoy to hit the seventh kick of the shootout and send RSL into the MLS Cup title game next Sunday at Qwest Field in Seattle. "Once you get a rhythm, you get a rhythm," Rimando said. "Last year, we were unlucky hitting the post so much...

Shalrie Joseph was kept quiet though out the match by Brandon Prideaux, Logan Pause, and CJ Brown who disrupted the midfield presence of the Revs, helping the Fire especially in the second half exert control of the ball. Mauricio Castro's exit with a gashed hand also took away a step or two. An early chance by Edgaras Jankauskas and the last minute...
