Sorry for the delay. An Internet issue to end them all, involving a multitude of problems and miscommunications, has seen me offline since Monday evening. This is a post for the games from Wednesday. First up...
The Philadelphia Union host the Chicago Fire. Sean Johnson and Andre Blake are the goalies. Chicago began with a second minute goal by David Accam. Philadelphia tied it as Jonathan Campbell of the Fire committed an own goal. The Union took the lead with a Roland Alberg goal in the fifteenth minute, via Fabian Herbers. Philadelphia saw yellow cards for fouls by Brian Carroll and Ken Tribbett in the thirty-sixth and thirty-seventh minutes, respectively. In first half stoppage time, Alberg scored again for the Union. Philadelphia extended the lead as Alberg completed his hat trick with a fifty-sixth minute penalty kick goal. In the fifty-eighth minute, the Union's Alberg took a yellow card for his foul. The Fire got one back in the sixty-ninth minute on a Razvan Cocis goal, passed from Rodrigo Ramos. Chicago pulled closer with a Khaly Thiam goal in the eightieth minute, courtesy of John Goossens. In the eighty-fifth minute, Campbell took a yellow card for a foul for the Fire. The game ended 4-3, with Alberg the man of the match.
Out to Salt Lake, where Real welcomes the New York Red Bulls. Luis Robles and Nick Rimando are the veteran goalies. Lloyd Sam of New York had a sixth minute yellow card for a foul. The Red Bulls led off in the seventh minute with a Gideon Baah goal, via Sean Davis. Aurelien Collin took a yellow card for an eighth minute foul for New York. Javier Morales of Salt Lake had a yellow card for his forty-fifth minute foul. Real tied it on a sixty-fifth minute goal by Yura Movsisyan, assisted by John Stertzer. Salt Lake took the lead in the eighty-seventh minute as Jordan Allen scored, thanks to Tony Beltran. The Red Bulls went down a man in the ninetieth minute as Collin took a straight red card for violent conduct, and then a yellow card went to Davis for his foul. Real saw a yellow card in second half stoppage time for dissent from Movsisyan. The game ended 2-1, with the man of the match being Allen for the winner.
Finally, the Los Angeles Galaxy bring in the Colorado Rapids. Zac MacMath and Brian Rowe are the keepers. Colorado's Axel Sjoberg had a yellow card for his fifteenth minute foul. The Rapids saw yellow cards for Dennis Castillo in the fiftieth minute and Micheal Azira in the seventy-fifth minute, both for fouls. Los Angeles had both A.J. DeLaGarza and Jelle Van Damme take yellow cards in the eighty-second minute for dissent. The final was 0-0, with Rowe the man of the match for his five-save clean sheet.
