MLS Saturday round-up (Week 20)

August 9
Toronto 1-0 Colorado (DSG Park)
While the Fire will have to wait till Brian McBride returns from the Olympics, Toronto's end of the deal is already paying dividends, as Chad Barrett delivered the game-winning goal for the Reds in the 44th minute off a free kick. The match got rather physical in the second half, and the cards were flying, including a second yellow ejection of Colin Clark in the 70th minute, which sunk any chance of a Colorado comeback.

Chicago 2-1 New England (Gillette Stadium)
Even with the return of Double-T (Taylor Twellman) to the Revolution scorer's sheet, New England's SuperLiga fatigue (and the 74th minute ejection of midfield general Shalrie Joseph) caught up with them, as the SL champs allowed two goals by Gonzalo Segares and Wilman Conde in the final eight minutes and lost to the visiting Chicago Fire.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Chivas USA 2-3 Kansas City (CAB)
Kansas City scored three unanswered and weathered a late comeback attempt to beat visiting Chivas USA. First half goals by Sasha Victorine and Claudio Lopez, gave the Wizards a somewhat comfortable lead, and when Davy Arnaud added a third in the 58th minute the match seemed all but over. However, Chivas made a late charge, ass Carey Talley scored in the 73rd and Justin Braun scored his third of the year to make it interesting in the final eight minutes.
