MLS Round-Up (Week 8)

MAY 17
Columbus 0-0 Toronto (BMO Field)

TFC had the lion's share of possession and quality chances, but they still can't find a consistent goalscorer. Robbie Rogers nearly stole one for the Crew, but Reds defender Tyrone Marshall was able to clear the shot off the line.

Kansas City 1-1 New York (Giants Stadium)

Jimmy Conrad scored his third of the season against the run of play, heading in a Carlos Marinelli corner kick in the first half. Then, Danleigh Borman scored his second goal in as many games to equalize for the Red Bulls at home against Kansas City. New York really had more chances in this game, but could only squeak one goal by Kevin Hartman and the Wizards defense.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
San Jose 0-2 New England (Gillette Stadium)

Zimbabwe striker Kheli Dube cleaned up a clever dummy by Shalrie Joseph to put the Revs on top and then Quakes defender James Riley forgot that he wasn't on New England anymore and headed it over his keeper and into his own goal. You may not be able to call San Jose an expansion team, officially, but they sure play like one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Houston 2-1 Chicago (Toyota Park)

A late goal by Bobby Boswell gave Houston its second win of the season and doused the Fire's three-game winning streak with a 2-1 scoreline. Ricardo Clark's bomb from 30-yards in the first half was answered 11 minutes later by Calen Carr.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DC United 1-3 Chivas USA (Home Depot Center)

A fabulous goal by Marcelo Gallardo in the first half was cancelled out by some horrible right-side defending in the second half. Goals by Jesse Marsch, Sacha Kljestan, and Jorge Flores all started with right-side runs. Clyde Simms was beaten like a red-headed, rented-mule stepchild.
