Today, there are four games on, beginning in...
Portland, as the Timbers host Los Angeles Galaxy. Jaime Penedo of Los Angeles and Donovan Ricketts of Portland are the keepers. Portland was the first in the books with a yellow card for a foul given to Gaston Fernandez in the thirty-fourth minute. Los Angeles matched it in the fifty-eighth minute on a foul by Dan Gargan. It took until the second minute of stoppage time in the second half for the scoring to open, as Robbie Keane tucked in a pass from Gargan to put the Galaxy ahead. The Timbers weren't having any of this, scoring in the fifth minute of stoppage time as Diego Valeri scored, thanks to Will Johnson, resulting in a 1-1 draw. The man of the match was Valeri, whose late goal put his team in a position to pick up a point in the standings.
Down in Colorado, the Rapids welcome the Chivas USA. Dan Kennedy of Chivas and Clint Irwin of Colorado are in goal. It took all the way to the fifty-sixth minute before things got moving, beginning with a goal by Erick Torres on a pass from Martin Rivero. In the sixty-first minute, Rivero was shown the yellow card for a foul. Chivas shook it off and added on to their lead with a Marvin Chavez goal in the sixty-seventh minute, via Torres. Chavez was hit with a yellow card for excessive celebration of the goal though, showing a lack of discipline. Colorado's Nick LaBrocca was put in the books for a foul that earned him a yellow card in the seventieth minute. Chavez kept his presence known in the seventy-sixth minute, putting away his second goal of the game to extend the Chivas lead. Colorado avoided the shutout with a goal in the second minute of stoppage time, scored by Deshorn Brown. The final was 3-1, and the man of the match was Chavez, whose two goals after coming on as a substitute were crucial in the Chivas victory.
Eastward to New England, where the Revolution bring in the Seattle Sounders FC. Stefan Frei of Seattle and Bobby Shuttleworth man the nets. New England opened with a goal in the fourteenth minute by Patrick Mullins. The Revolution added on with a Diego Fagundez goal, passed from Chris Tierney in the twenty-ninth minute. New England extended the lead in the thirty-sixth minute as Teal Bunbury scored an unassisted goal. The Revolution attack kept coming, scoring in the forty-first minute as Fagundez put away his second of the game with the help of Bunbury. Seattle's Djimi Traore was called for a foul in the first minute of stoppage time in the first half, earning him a yellow card. Adding insult to injury, New England picked up a gift in the forty-sixth minute as Chad Marshall was responsible for an own-goal. Gonzalo Pineda found himself in the book in the seventy-third minute, for a foul. New England coasted from here to a 5-0 win. The man of the match was Fagundez.
Finally, in Houston, the Dynamo host Real Salt Lake. Nick Rimando of Salt Lake and Tally Hall of Houston are starting in goal. Salt Lake wasted no time in scoring in the first minute, with Javier Morales putting away a pass from Alvaro Saborio. Real added on as Morales scored again in the seventeenth minute, thanks to assists from Ned Grabavoy and Joao Plata. Houston got one back in the twenty-second minute as Mark Sherrod scored, with an assist from Brad Davis. Salt Lake was hit with a yellow card for a Saborio foul in the twenty-sixth minute. The Dynamo suffered a worse fate just a minute later as Servando Carrasco was called for a serious foul that was given a straight red card and put his team down to ten men. Real responded quickly in the thirty-second minute, as Saborio put away a goal with a lone assist from Luke Mulholland. In the fourth minute of first half stoppage time, Oscar Garcia was shown a yellow card for a foul, put the Dynamo back in the books. Houston avoided absolute collapse as Sherrod scored his second of the game in the fifty-sixth minute, via Giles Barnes. Salt Lake shot back on a Mulholland goal, made possible by Morales, in the seventy-eighth minute. Real got another as Morales finished his hat trick on an unassisted goal in the eighty-ninth minute. The game got chippy in the second minute of stoppage time in the second half as Sherrod was shown a yellow card for a foul, but the scoring ended 5-2 in Real's favor. Morales was the man of the match.
