Four games on tonight in the league, beginning in...
Philadelphia, as the Union host the New York Red Bulls. Luis Robles and Zac MacMath are in goal. Philadelphia opened in the ninth minute on a Conor Casey goal, via Andrew Wenger. The Union added on in the fifty-first minute as Fred scored, thanks to Casey and Sheanon Williams. New York got one back in the sixtieth minute with a Bradley Wright-Phillips goal, coming off of Thierry Henry and Ambroise Oyongo Bitolo. Philadelphia answered in the sixty-ninth minute when Sebastien Le Toux deposited a penalty kick into the net. The Red Bulls had a yellow card issued to Matt Miazga in the eighty-sixth minute. They also went on to lose by a 3-1 score, with the man of the match being MacMath for turning aside five shots to preserve the decision.
West to Columbus, as the Crew welcome Sporting Kansas City. Andy Gruenebaum and Steve Clark are the keepers. Kansas City first had a yellow card on a thirty-fourth minute foul by Lawrence Olum. Sporting led off with a forty-second minute goal by C.J. Sapong, assisted by Benny Feilhaber. Columbus was visited by the referee in the fifty-third minute for a Wil Trapp foul that drew a yellow card, but Kansas City came away worse off when Aurelien Collin was sent off with a straight red card two minutes later. The Crew tied the game when Igor Juliao put the ball in his own net for an own goal in the sixty-ninth minute. In the seventy-ninth minute, Juliao was again a liability when he was booked for a foul, earning him a yellow card. Columbus also dropped to ten men in the game when Trapp picked up his second yellow card of the game on a foul in the eighty-ninth minute. Kansas City cashed in with a stoppage time goal by Feilhaber, passed from Jacob Peterson and a redemptive Juliao, which stood as the game winner in a 2-1 match. Feilhaber was the man of the match for his all-around good effort.
Up in Canada, Toronto FC brings in their cross-country rivals, the Vancouver Whitecaps FC. David Ousted and Joe Bendik play in the six-yard boxes. Toronto was first to receive a yellow card for a Bradley Orr foul in the twenty-eighth minute. Vancouver started in the fiftieth minute on a Darren Mattocks goal, fueled by Russell Teibert and Pedro Morales. Teibert gave the Whitecaps their first yellow card in the sixty-first minute. Toronto tied the game in the sixty-fourth minute when Jermain Defoe scored a penalty kick goal. Vancouver was booked twice more in the game, with yellow cards given to Nigel Reo-Coker in the seventieth minute and Sam Adekugbe in the eighty-fifth minute, both for fouls. Toronto also got another yellow card in stoppage time as Collen Warner committed a foul. The result was a 1-1 draw, with the man of the match being Ousted for his five saves.
Finally, in Los Angeles, the Galaxy host the New England Revolution. Bobby Shuttleworth and Jaime Penedo are manning the nets. Los Angeles began with a tenth minute Robbie Keane goal, made possible by Baggio Husidic. The Galaxy's A.J. DeLaGarza was shown a yellow card a minute later for a foul. Los Angeles added on with a Gyasi Zardes goal in the eighteenth minute, passed from Keane and Stefan Ishizaki. The two teams each lost a man in the first half, as New England's A.J. Soares was booked on a red card for a serious foul in the twenty-ninth minute, only to see the Galaxy lose their manpower advantage in the thirty-sixth minute on Dan Gargan's professional foul that drew a red card. When that was all settled, Lee Nguyen put away the penalty kick in the thirty-eighth minute to bring the Revolution back into the game. Los Angeles dashed these hopes by answering in the forty-eighth minute on another Zardes goal, coming off of Keane. The Galaxy picked up another yellow card when Leonardo was booked in the fifty-first minute for a foul. New England suffered another setback when Jerry Bengston's foul in the seventy-fourth minute gave him a yellow card and a free kick to Ishizaki, who scored to extend the Los Angeles lead. In the seventy-eighth minute, Keane scored his second of the night to further the Galaxy lead. Los Angeles was slapped with a yellow card to Chandler Hoffman in the eighty-second minute for a foul. The final stood at 5-1, with Keane's brace and pair of assists leading the way as man of the match.
