Without Davis, one of the league’s premier free-kick takers

Without Davis, one of the league's premier free-kick takers, it was somewhat ironic that it was a set piece from Adam Moffat that found Taylor at the back corner of the penalty area. Taylor knocked it back to Andre Hainault, who put it in from a couple of yards out.
"As soon as he hit it, I just turned and said, 'Well, I just lost my job on set pieces,'" said Davis, who assisted two of Houston's three goals in its playoff series with Philadelphia with free kicks.
Unfortunately for the Dynamo, Davis said he did not think he would be healthy in time for the final against the Los Angeles Galaxy on Nov. 20 in Carson, Calif. He spent the rest of the game and the trophy presentation on crutches.
