MLS Week 21Montreal 1-1 New York Red Bulls
Goals from Oduro and Sam cancel each other out. Montreal went down a man for the final 15-odd minutes and did very well to stifle RBNY from getting anything more out of the match.
Toronto 4-1 OrlandoGIOVINCO! His second hat trick of the season (a penalty, a 30-yard free kick, and a solid finish in stoppage time). He's practically got one hand on that MVP trophy.
Portland 1-0 ChicagoBack to reality for the Fire
Portland were definitely deserved winners in this. It was an interesting move by Frank Yallop, the Chicago manager. The Fire are by all means DONE this season with the worst record in the league, but have a semifinal for the US Open Cup on Wednesday (our FA Cup, if you will). He played his strongest available XI on turf and a difficult atmosphere, and the star player, David Accam, pulled his hammy in the first half.
Toronto 1-3 Kansas CitySoft penalty awarded to KC that Feilhaber scores. Toronto equalized 60 seconds later through Bradley, assisted by Giovinco, who's been involved in 20 of Toronto's last 25 or 26 goals. Nemeth grabbed another goal for himself a few minutes later through a crazy looped header. Altidore had the chance to equalize in the final 10, but he pulled a Jozy Altidore and missed an open header from 6 yards out.
Orlando 0-0 PhiladelphiaZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Montreal 0-1 DCHISTORY! DC United became the first team in league history to win a game with only 1 shot the entire game. Chris Rolfe has had a renaissance year. No Drogba yet for Montreal.
Colorado 1-2 ColumbusOnly Columbus' second away win on the year. They conceded early again, but Kei Kamara continues his superb form with 2 more goals. 17 goals to lead the league -- none of them have been penalties. Ridiculous.
Houston 2-1 San JoseUgly game, but a win here is very important for Houston to stay within touching distance of a playoff spot. DaMarcus Beasley got his first goal in MLS since the 2003 MLS Cup. (To be fair, back then, he was a superb winger for Chicago before moving to PSV Eindhoven, City, Rangers, Hannover, Puebla, and didn't return to the league until last year. He's a LB now too.)
Vancouver 4-0 Salt LakeVancouver solidifies their lead atop the West with a comprehensive victory over RSL. The Whitecaps have given everybody some real trouble this year. They're going to be a tough team in the playoffs, especially at home.
LA 3-1 SeattleChad Barrett gave Seattle the lead in the few 2 minutes then pulled his hamstring celebrating
Zardes, Keane and debutant dos Santos with goals. Seattle was missing quite a few players, but their form has been piss poor for 2 months now.
NY Red Bulls 2-0 New York CityRed Bulls with the sweep of their rivals. Funny enough, NYC looked damn good the first 10 minutes, but RBNY weathered the storm and got the win. I'm a big fan of Matt Miazga at CB for RBNY. Homegrown kid could be a a big star in the league in a few years.
