Wizards complete wild 4-3 comeback win over Houston

Wolff Celebration

Josh Wolff picked an appropriate time for his second goal of the 2010 season. The former USMNT forward capped off a second half rally with a 96th minute winner, as Kansas City erased a two-goal deficit, defeating the Houston Dynamo 4-3 and keeping their playoff hopes alive.

Down 3-1 at the end of the first half, the Wizards were poised to take a huge step back from their playoff goal. Needing three points from the majority of their remaining games -- especially one against a bottom team in the West at home -- it wasn't looking promising.

Houston had punished the Wizards for a woeful first half performance, as goals from Cam Weaver, Dominic Oduro and Adrian Serioux had the Dynamo on top. The Wizards could only fashion a response through a Kei Kamara blast in the 35th minute.

But two cataclysmic errors from Houston defenders cost them their lead. First, it was Pat Onstad, slipping on a goal kick that fell straight to Teal Bunbury, who raced in one-on-one and beat the Dynamo 'keeper in the 60th minute. Kansas City then tied it 12 minutes later, when a Ryan Smith volley was redirected in by Serioux, cuing Wolff's stoppage time heroics.

Here's a look at the highlights from Wednesday's game:

The annual Tour de France is among the most grueling races in all of sports. But every summer, hundreds of cyclists brave the plains, the mountains, the sun and the rain of France (and often the surrounding countries) to complete the 3,500-plus kilometer trek. But why? Fame? Sure, names like Lance Armstrong, Greg LeMond and defending champion Alberto Contador will go down in the annals of cycling history. Money?
