MLS Sunday June 8th, 2014

Two games on this afternoon, beginning with...

The New England Revolution hosting the New York Red Bulls. Luis Robles and Bobby Shuttleworth are the keepers. New York opened in the seventeenth minute on an Eric Alexander goal, set up by Lloyd Sam. New England had the first yellow card three minutes into first half stoppage time, as Chris Tierney was given one for a foul. The Red Bulls picked up yellow cards in the sixty-third minute for Robles' time washing and in the sixty-ninth minute on a Matt Miazga foul. Peguy Luyindula scored in the seventy-sixth minute for New York, an unassisted goal. The Red Bulls had two more yellow cards, as Ibrahim Sekagya was booked in the eighty-sixth minute for persistent infringement and Andre Akpan was shown one for a foul in stoppage time. The game ended 2-0, and the man of the match was Robles, who was kept busy but stayed up to the task in stopping all ten shots directed on goal for a clean sheet.

The other game is in Los Angeles, as the Galaxy host Chivas USA. Dan Kennedy and Jaime Penedo guard the nets. Chivas began in the twentieth minute with an Erick Torres goal, via Martin Rivero. Los Angeles tied it in the thirty-fifth minute with a Gyasi Zardes goal, fueled by Marcelo Sarvas and Stefan Ishizaki. This was it for the action, as the game ended in a 1-1 draw. Kennedy was the man of the match, making six saves to preserve the tie.
