Four games on a busy midweek slate, beginning in...
DC, as United hosts Toronto FC. Joe Bendik and Bill Hamid man the nets. DC began in the eighth minute on an Eddie Johnson goal, via Perry Kitchen and Sean Franklin. The next three events in the game were yellow cards, all for fouls. These were shown to Toronto's Collen Warner in the thirty-sixth minute and United's Davy Arnaud and Chris Korb in the forty-second and fifty-fourth minutes, respectively. DC added on as Chris Rolfe scored in the fifty-ninth minute, with the help of Nick DeLeon and Luis Silva. United extended the lead when Toronto's Nick Hagglund put the ball into his own net for an own goal in the sixty-seventh minute. Toronto picked up a yellow card a minute later for a Michael Bradley foul. United had one more yellow card, given to Johnson in the ninetieth minute. The final stood at 3-0, with Hamid being the man of the match by making eight saves for a clean sheet.
Up in New England, the Revolution welcome the Colorado Rapids. Clint Irwin and Bobby Shuttleworth are the keepers. New England received an early gift as Drew Moor was charged with an own goal in the tenth minute. Colorado's Thomas Piermayr was shown a yellow card for a foul in the thirty-first minute. The game was relatively calm for forty minutes, and then things got interesting. In the seventy-second minute, Patrick Mullins of the Revolution was shown a yellow card for a foul. The Rapids received two yellow cards in the seventy-fourth minute. The first went to Irwin for dissent. The second was far worse, as Piermayr was called for a foul, earning his second card and ejection from the game. The drop to ten men was backbreaking for Colorado. New England scored in the seventy-fifth minute on a Lee Nguyen goal. Three minutes later, Kelyn Rowe deposited a pass from Nguyen into the twine to produce the eventual 3-0 final. The man of the match was Nguyen for his difference-making effort.
West to Chicago, where the Fire bring in the Vancouver Whitecaps FC. David Ousted and Sean Johnson protect the nets. Chicago was first to pick up a yellow card for a Chris Ritter foul in the twenty-eighth minute. Vancouver matched that with a Jordan Harvey yellow card for a foul in the thirty-sixth minute. The Whitecaps had another yellow card for a sixty-third minute Johnny Leveron foul. The Fire picked up the next yellow card as Lovel Palmer was booked for a foul. The scoring just wasn't there for either team, as the game ended in a scoreless draw. The man of the match was Johnson, turning away two shots on goal of the thirteen shots Vancouver took in the game to keep a clean sheet.
Finally, Real Salt Lake hosts the New York Red Bulls. Luis Robles and Nick Rimando tend the nets. Salt Lake led off in the eighteenth minute with a Joao Plata goal, via Chris Wingert. New York tied it on a Thierry Henry goal in the fifty-seventh minute, assisted by Tim Cahill and Bradley Wright-Phillips. Real was given the only yellow card of the game in the seventy-eighth minute on an Olmes Garcia offense for time wasting. The final was 1-1, and the man of the match was Henry for his equalizer to preserve a point for the Red Bulls.
