MLS Sunday June 29th, 2014

Two games on today, the first a make-up of yesterday's postponed game in...

Columbus, as the Crew host FC Dallas. Chris Seitz and Steve Clark are in goal, and they did a good job today. Seitz made two saves while Clark batted away one shot on goal to preserve clean sheets for both sides in a 0-0 draw. The teams also played a clean game, drawing no cards from the referee (and only thirteen total fouls overall), making this a fairly calm game. Prayers go out to the supporter that was struck by lightning yesterday before the match's originally scheduled time.

The other game is from Montreal, where the Impact host the Houston Dynamo. Tally Hall and Troy Perkins are the keepers. The teams traded yellow cards early in the first half, as Houston's A.J. Cochran and Montreal's Maxim Tissot both were booked for fouls, in the sixteenth and twenty-second minutes, respectively. The Impact got on the board with a Jack McInerney goal in the forty-first minute, assisted by Eric Miller. The Dynamo had another yellow card in the fifty-second minute on a foul by Will Bruin. Montreal added on with McInerney's second of the game in the seventy-fifth minute, made possible by Justin Mapp. The Impact extended the lead in the seventy-ninth minute on an unassisted goal by Marco Di Vaio. This made it 3-0, a final, with McInerney's brace earning him the man of the match honors.
