MLS Sunday May 25th, 2014

Two games on today to close out the week's schedule. The first is in...

Los Angeles, as the Galaxy host the Philadelphia Union. Zac MacMath and Jaime Penedo man the nets. Los Angeles quickly started in the second minute as Leonardo knocked in a Landon Donovan pass for a goal. The Galaxy's Juninho picked up a yellow card in the thirty-first minute for a foul. Los Angeles added on to the score with a Donovan goal in the forty-ninth minute, via Robbie Keane. The Galaxy extended the lead with a Keane goal in the sixty-fourth minute, going in unassisted. Los Angeles padded the lead in the eighty-first minute as Donovan scored his second of the game, courtesy of Keane. Philadelphia avoided the shutout when Maurice Edu scored on a penalty kick in the eighty-eighth minute. This made it 4-1, the final, with Donovan being the man of the match for his record-breaking 135th MLS goal, the first in his brace, while Keane gets an honorable mention.

The other game is from San Jose, as the Earthquakes host the Houston Dynamo. Tally Hall and Jon Busch are the keepers. San Jose began in the thirty-eighth minute on a Khari Stephenson goal, set up by Shea Salinas. The Earthquakes added on as Stephenson scored his second of the night on a penalty kick in the fifty-eighth minute. Steven Lenhart was given a yellow card in the sixtieth minute for a foul, the first booking going to San Jose. The Earthquakes padded their lead on an Atiba Harris goal in the seventieth minute. This was good for a 3-0 win, with Stephenson being the man of the match.
