"There is no better time to spread soccer enthusiasm than during the playoffs," said GP Manalac, President and CEO of Amigo Energy. "The Houston Parks and Recreation Department and the Houston Dynamo are always doing a lot to spread the love of soccer in Houston. We at Amigo are happy to help bring soccer to a new generation of kids."
"We are excited to have our largest sponsor utilize the Dynamo to provide a large group of kids an invaluable experience," said Lori Stutt, Director of Dynamo Charities and Community Relations. "Thank you, Amigo Energy, for allowing this to happen."

With a win, the Dynamo will advance to the Western Conference championship game and continue their quest for their third MLS Cup in four years.
