* Update--The Galaxy and Wizards played to a scoreless draw in the series opener Sept. 29 at Kansas City and the Galaxy won Game 2, 2-1, in overtime Tuesday at the Rose Bowl. The Galaxy and the New York/New Jersey MetroStars are the only teams to have won playoff games on the road. The Galaxy won at Tampa Bay and the MetroStars were victorious at Dallas in respective quarterfinal series. Home teams are a combined 10-2-2 in the playoffs. Kansas City defender Brandon Prideaux suffered a left shoulder strain after landing awkwardly on the Rose Bowl grass in Game 2 but practiced Thursday and is listed as probable for tonight. The Wizards lead the Galaxy, 6-4-1, in games played at Arrowhead Stadium.
