MLS: Houston 1, Seattle 0 (OT)

Houston -- Brian Ching's goal in an extra-time period Sunday gave Houston a 1-0 Major League Soccer playoff win over Seattle and a berth in the Western Conference final.

Ching scored in the first of two 15-minute extra periods after the teams were locked in a scoreless draw in two home-and-home playoff games.

Houston advances to the Western Conference final for the third time in four seasons, where it will meet the winner of Sunday's match between Los Angeles and Chivas USA.

Chicago and Real Salt Lake will play in the Eastern Conference final.
