This is it for MLS action before the World Cup. We will be back at the conclusion of the international event. Keep an eye on the US Open Cup in the meantime, although I will not be covering those games. First off...
The Montreal Impact host DC United. Andrew Dykstra and Troy Perkins are the keepers. DC began in the sixth minute with a Luis Silva goal, set up by Fabian Espindola. Montreal tied it in the twelfth minute on a Jack McInerney goal, coming off of Hassoun Camara. The Impact took the lead with an unassisted goal by Andres Romero in the twenty-first minute. United tied it in the twenty-third minute on a Nick DeLeon goal, again set up by Espindola. Romero digressed from being productive by taking a yellow card for a foul in the twenty-fifth minute. Espindola also had a transgression, earning a yellow card for unsporting behavior in the thirty-third minute. DC took the lead back in the thirty-ninth minute as Silva scored his second of the game, via Espindola. Silva netted the third goal in his hat trick in the fifth minute of first half stoppage time, on a penalty kick. Late in the game, the teams exchanged another set of yellow cards, as Montreal's Wandrille Lefevre and Davy Arnaud of DC each had fouls, in the eighty-first and eighty-seventh minutes, respectively. The scoring was long done, as United won 4-2. Silva was the man of the match, although Espindola gets an honorable mention.
Tonight's other game has the Portland Timbers hosting FC Dallas. Raul Fernandez and Donovan Ricketts are manning the nets. Dallas led off in the twenty-seventh minute with a Fabian Castillo goal, assisted by Blas Perez. Dallas added on as Perez scored, thanks to Tesho Akindele. The teams traded yellow cards early in the second half, as Fanendo Adi got one in the fifty-fourth minute for Portland and Stephen Keel answered with his own in the sixtieth minute, both for fouls. Dallas' goalie Fernandez was given a yellow card in the seventy-seventh minute for time wasting. Portland got on the board with a seventy-ninth minute penalty kick goal by Will Johnson. The bookings continued for Dallas, as Moises Hernandez was shown a straight red card in the eighty-seventh minute for a serious foul, followed by Perez getting a yellow card in the ninetieth minute for a foul, and then he had a more serious offense two minutes into stoppage time, giving him a red card and putting Dallas at nine men. Pa Modou Kah cashed in for the Timbers, scoring in the fourth minute of stoppage time to pull level, with an assist by Maximiliano Urruti. The game ended in a 2-2 draw, and the man of the match was Kah for his late equalizer to eke out a point for Portland.
