Five games on tonight, as inclement weather in the Columbus area postponed the Crew's game against FC Dallas. The first game of the night was...
DC United hosting the Seattle Sounders FC. Stefan Frei and Bill Hamid are in goal. Seattle was first to see a yellow card, shown to Osvaldo Alonso in the twentieth minute for a foul. The Sounders also opened the scoring with a goal in the thirty-ninth minute by Chad Barrett, assisted by Gonzalo Pineda. Pineda picked up an unfortunate late yellow card in the eighty-ninth minute for time wasting, but Seattle held on for a 1-0 win. Barrett was the man of the match.
Up in New England, the Revolution welcome the Philadelphia Union. Zac MacMath and Brad Knighton are in the six-yard boxes. Philadelphia started in the forty-second minute with an unassisted goal by Sebastien Le Toux. The Union added on in the sixty-ninth minute as Danny Cruz scored, with the help of Michael Lahoud. New England got one back in the seventy-third minute on a Saer Sene goal, via Kelyn Rowe and Andy Dorman, but Sene also picked up a yellow card for excessive celebration in the process. Philadelphia shot back with Le Toux's second of the game, coming off of Andrew Wenger in the seventy-eighth minute. The yellow cards started flying after this, as Wenger got one for time wasting in the eightieth minute, while Dorman was shown one for a foul in the eighty-fifth minute. The Revolution had another yellow card for a stoppage time foul by Jose Gonçalves. The Union won 3-1, with Le Toux being the man of the match for his brace.
Out west, the Colorado Rapids host the Vancouver Whitecaps FC. David Ousted and Clint Irwin are the keepers. Colorado led off in the twentieth minute on an unassisted Dillon Powers goal. The Rapids added on as Vicente Sanchez converted a penalty kick in the thirty-sixth minute. Vancouver was given the first yellow card of the game in the fifty-fourth minute on a Nigel Reo-Coker foul. Colorado matched it in the eighty-seventh minute as Nick LaBrocca did not retreat. The Rapids held on for a 2-0 win, with the man of the match being Powers for his opening goal.
Into California, where the San Jose Earthquakes host their rivals from the south, the Los Angeles Galaxy. Jaime Penedo and Jon Busch protect the nets. Los Angeles opened in the sixty-first minute with a Gyasi Zardes goal, via Marcelo Sarvas and Robbie Keane. The Galaxy were shown a yellow card as Dan Gargan committed a foul in the sixty-seventh minute. Los Angeles' Landon Donovan also got a yellow card for time wasting in the ninetieth minute, but the final score was unchanged at 1-0. Zardes was the man of the match.
Also in California, our last game of the day sees Chivas USA bring in Real Salt Lake. Jeff Attinella and Dan Kennedy man the nets. Salt Lake got off to a very bad start, as Luke Mulholland was shown a red card in just the ninth minute for a serious foul, leaving his team at ten men for most of the match. Chivas' Tony Lochhead was shown a yellow card in the nineteenth minute for a handball. He made up for this fundamental mistake by assisting on Chivas' first goal in the thirty-fifth minute, scored by Erick Torres. Chivas had another yellow card in the forty-seventh minute for a Mauro Rosales foul, followed by another yellow card-worthy foul in the fiftieth minute from Donny Toia. Real had the next yellow card in the seventy-second minute on a John Stertzer foul. The final was 1-0, with the man of the match being Torres for his goal.
