Clips on the turf. We were down there by the way and they watered it and it dried up immediately.
So we're expecting a slow track although so far so good.
Lavander. Mora! Flag is down and it is gold in back to back.
Two back games for the Chileno. Pipe Mora gives the tippers the lead they craved.
It jumps right before him. This is a full swing by Mora.
Look at this ball. Curling. Freezes Loris. Just helplessly watches the ball.
In the opponent's penalty area.
Into the teeth of the Timbers midfield. Bogus gets it behind.
101 with Miller. Cross the goal now. Finishes at four post Polish power.
22nd minute. We were wondering if this would be this kind of game.
Close side net. Kropot goes full stretch to his left.
Nothing he can do about it. What a fantastic response from Matty Bogus.
LAFC to level here.
Mosquera. Antony.
LAFC not the cleavage coming out of their back.
Mosquera. Evander. Yes!
Golazo! Golazo! Evander right on cue.
Doesn't show a lot of emotions but try and wipe off that smile off his face.
Was it Tillman that let him go?
Pops up Mosquera. A little dink ball.
Chess feels the pressure. Comes across.
One of the things we're trying to avoid and it's in close quarters.
Edge of the 18. Bogus and Atuesta would appear to be Bogus' chance.
Gets it. Up and down!
Matty Bogus has a double!
And that situation with Maxime Grapeau goes from bad to worse.
Red card. 10 men and the goal for LAFC.
From Matty Bogus.
Wow. Antunes doesn't even move.
Doesn't even move. I'm not sure he even saw it.
That little hiccup. That little beep.
The finished product lacking just a touch.
But a really impressive run by the youngster on the left flank.
Click to take the corner. He chips it up.
And he's looking for Benteke who got a hand to it!
And put it inside the four post!
The phenomenal season for Christian Benteke continues.
And less than 5 minutes into this match, he's got his 6th goal on the season.
DC United 1, Orlando City 0.
Straight up as it comes back into the 6.
Right on the back post. Drifting back off.
Daggerdame Dorrelson has to do a better job at getting pressure here.
To allow Christian Benteke.
The good news though is, 28 minutes in, all of a sudden,
you've got multiple options moving forward here for Orlando City.
And here comes the pace of Angulo.
He clips this one to the back post.
Daggerdame Dorrelson pounds the header home!
Orlando City have equalized in the 28th minute.
That's what they've been looking for this season.
The distribution coming front.
Now you get the flexibility of picking and choosing where you want to go.
You've got a presence on the 9 that's keeping the center backs occupied.
Torres flicks it forward.
Looking for Muriel who's all by himself.
Wanted a foul that he doesn't get.
McVay driving forward.
Finds Pidani. Pidani.
Now to Stroud.
He clips it up into the air.
Looking for Benteke.
Knocks it down.
Bang!
DC United back!
But watch the continuation.
The argument.
In the absence of Cudi Pietro, you lose some creativity.
But does that engine then find a way to be recreated in the aggregate?
Corner number three for Orlando City.
And this one is turned home, I think, by Benteke.
Whatever the case, Orlando City have equalized here in the second half.
And was it Orlando City's David Breccolo?
Got good presence on him, too.
Just look at the shoulder as you pinch up here.
Now Daiohme backs off of it a little bit
because he sees Christian Benteke stepping into it.
Here is Santos trying to drive it in.
Blocked by Thorhalsen.
Back to Santos.
Here's Pidani.
He's closed out.
Flicked away by Angulo.
Loredo looking for Maguire.
The flag is down for now.
Maguire slots it home!
Fires Orlando City in front off the bench.
Right inside.
That center circle.
It's a little bit delayed there and hard to tell.
Our angle when he played it looked like he was in an onside position.
Becoming a steady presence back there.
Millan does help that.
But so is his grit and determination.
Third-round pick out of Penn State last year.
Vargas!
Finds his finishing boots.
Carolyn Vargas puts the crown in front.
He's out here on that left wing,
but watch the way he gets involved with the play.
Capetti goes up and watch his run.
Almost like he knows the ball is going to come.
He gets there first.
Really good contact.
Maybe to blame for the panic.
Bernardeschi.
You saw that win probability still strong in Charlotte's favor.
Owusu!
On the tuck-in from Bernardeschi!
And the Prince is feeling like a king in the Queen City.
1-1, three minutes after halftime.
Looking to see what's in the box.
And then he sees Owusu at that near post.
That pass across.
Given away.
Harder is alive.
He's sharp and he's on the front foot.
And he gets onto this nice and early.
And then it's just quickness to take it past Gomez.
Bernardeschi.
Good stuff.
Ranciani.
Federico Bernardeschi.
Keeps it going.
Ruddy.
Oh, it's Owusu!
And it's fallen to him again.
Prince, part two.
2-2 in Charlotte.
Can't fashion the shot.
But gives it to someone else in an area that can do something else.
Marshall Ruddy.
And then it drops to Prince Owusu again.
The wingers have woken up for the crown.
They've got the goals.
Back in the attack for Charlotte.
To understand that there's Diagre there.
No one follows him.
He's on his own.
And then put it in an area where goals are scored.
There's Patrick Adjiman to make it 3-2.
Now Montreal again in transition.
Raheem Edwards on his horse on the left-hand side.
Edge of the area.
Now cuts it back across.
Joseph Martinez.
Montreal gets their first home goal of the season
through Joseph Martinez.
And late in the half.
Joseph Martinez, other than just trying to hit it hard across.
But Joseph Martinez knows where to find those little pockets in that 18-yard box.
And he does just that.
And then the easy part, frankly, for a player of his quality.
I think the second half you're going to see Cincinnati on the ball more often now.
Of course, obviously with the 1-0 lead for Montreal,
they're going to sit perhaps a little bit deeper at certain moments.
Maybe not put as much pressure on.
Slipped through.
Now Yuya Kubo.
Played on to it by Lucho Acosta.
And Kubo has his third of the season.
We're level at one.
Lucho Acosta.
He's got enough time and space to pick out Kubo.
Kubo this time keeps it low.
Wraps it around.
Jonathan Siwa giving the goalkeeper no chance.
Massive goal for this.
The face of Joaquin Sosa there.
Now ahead for Joseph Martinez.
Can Martinez get around Miazga?
He's got some support in Ariel Lassiter.
Ahead for Lassiter.
Into the area.
Strikes it and scores.
A thundering blast from Ariel Lassiter.
And Montreal is back in front 2-1.
Ariel Lassiter times it perfectly.
Perfect weighted ball by Joseph Martinez.
And then he hits it with pace and power.
They keep parts.
Towards that byline.
The cross is in.
Hannes Wolfe in some space.
Hannes Wolfe.
The block in and the strike coming in.
And that's absolutely Agustin Ojeda.
That's an absolute scorcher as City hit the front.
Passing the first line of pressure but being patient.
Finding wide areas.
And this is something that we've talked about.
The development of the wide areas for New York City.
Get it into the.
Out of his feet.
New York City rather can clear.
Kessler's header will come kindly here for Fernandez
who's going to charge at Kessler.
Here's William Fernandez.
Sumptuous goal.
Just keep retreating.
And he's going to just put this on his left foot.
Tuck it into that far pose to put this game out of reach.
What a finish that is.
Take the sting out of the game and then show his quality
with going forward.
There were times when Messi wasn't playing.
He missed four games with an injury where Alba was
kind of taking that role.
This is taken away by Leibold.
Over to Tommy.
Tommy.
And it's in.
Sensational from Sporting.
Just opens up the gap a little bit for Eric Tommy
to bury this ball.
Back post.
Could have really sealed things for Kansas City
and then kind of led to the downfall for them in that match.
Wonderful ball from Messi to Gomez.
No Messi.
And the run of Diego Gomez.
It's one-one.
Some verticality from either Suarez or Messi.
But when you can play into the feet of Messi here.
Now you time to run from 35, 40 yards away.
Gomez and Suarez in the middle.
Suarez the option.
Suarez on his left.
Cutting it back behind Gomez.
And nobody there but Tim Leibold.
He gives it away.
Right to Busquets.
Ruiz and Messi.
Messi!
Giveaway here from Sporting Kansas City.
Watch Lionel Messi just float.
Get into the space.
No pressure on him whatsoever.
Sometimes they like Toledo to make that run.
I'm wondering if Rosero becomes that guy because of the win.
Shallowly into the near post.
Suarez the defensive ender.
Tommy the volley!
In sensational style.
2-2.
Luis Suarez does exactly what he's told to do.
Just cover that near post.
But it's the second phase here.
Gomez takes it off of Davis.
Gomez the mistake.
3-2.
Appreciating this.
But there's no reason for Tim Melia, who's got the ball at his feet,
to roll it out to Jake Davis.
Lofted in.
Good-looking ball.
And it's in!
And it's Mikael for the Houston Dynamo.
Off the bench as his center back for the injured Sviatchenko.
And onto the score sheet.
And the Houston Dynamo take a 1-0 lead here at Allianz.
What part of his body does he get it with here?
He's kind of a diving header.
And actually it looks like it might have gone off-broad.
Fending off blessing.
And getting forward as well.
Excellent ball for Robin Lood.
Things are opening up here for the Loods.
Lood.
Fragapane!
It's a spectacular build-up and goal for Minnesota United.
And it's Franco Fragapane with his first of the year.
It's all level.
And what a ball to find Robin Lood.
Just splitting the defense.
He picks his head up.
He waits.
Fragapane makes the right run at the right time.
Right on the penalty spot.
Match day number nine was Portland and LAFC.
2-2 draw between those two rivals.
Montreal with a big three points against Cincinnati.
Meanwhile, Sebastian Kowalczyk goes through the legs.
Kowalczyk with an excellent effort.
And a spectacular individual goal.
Against the run of play.
And then some.
Through the legs of Bacharach making his debut.
And then unloads on Dane St. Clair.
And no mistake on this finish.
No mistake.
You think maybe he's going away from goal there.
But he gets it on that right foot.
Lifts his head up just a bit.
And now he's got to try and keep his former club from taking the lead on the road.
So it looks like it'll stand.
Navajo has already completed the job twice from the penalty spot.
A little stutter step.
And he makes it a third.
Big time start for the Colorado Rapids here in Northern California.
A long approach.
But stops about halfway.
Just trying to get Yarbrough to show his cards a little bit.
And right before he strikes, Yarbrough goes.
Mihaljevic back onto his feet.
And Colorado with a throw on the far touchline.
Long throw into the near post.
Intended for Maksud.
Here is Mihaljevic one more time.
Good ball out wide.
Numbers in the area for Colorado.
In for Cole Bassett on the doorstep.
Claims it's a handball.
But instead it's into the back of the net.
Navajo the first time for the run of play.
On this clearance.
Just before this.
Wasn't able to clear the lines.
And then look at three players against two.
Bassett.
Bassett!
It's three for Colorado.
Right foot, right foot.
Two is left.
Just way too much space on top of the box.
And the middle can go either direction.
Six to his knees.
Pooch heads the other way.
It's late for him.
But not for Peck on the right side.
Peck.
Inside.
Saved by Takahoka.
Jovelich won't be denied.
Galaxy breakthrough finally.
And it's 1-0 at BC Place.
Great ball into the corner.
From Pooch for Peck.
Well saved from Takahoka.
But there's that poacher instinct I mentioned off the top.
Jovelich wide open.
We haven't talked a lot about him.
But another strong performance through 75 minutes.
Low driving.
It is.
He makes good.
And it's 1-1 at BC Place.
Once again, they've been breached.
But it's a superb ball in.
And well risen there from Brian White.
Far too easy, though.
And it's a substitute for Gundis.
By the way, Levante Johnson appears to have sat down.
That ball's a hit for Paintsilk.
He's outside.
He scores.
Easily past Yohei Takahoka.
And just like that, the Galaxy answer back.
The flags stay down.
And it's a 2-1 match.
And the Galaxy absolutely open up the white cap defense.
And Paintsilk, who is a natural goal scorer.
Two goals on the year.
Make it three now as he waits for Tacko.
Able to find Pooch.
And now a through ball once again looking for Paintsilk.
He's going to win this race.
Is the cross there for Paintsilk?
It is for Gundis.
3-1 L.A.
The Galaxy are off to the races.
And Diego for Gundis.
Retribution for him.
Beaten on the header from Brian White to make it 1-1.
It's left to play.
But with Vancouver pressing forward and the spaces being caught in behind,
Paintsilk again contributes.
Good cut back.
Moumba.
Outside of the foot pass.
Diego Armada.
Lennon.
Armada.
Right for the delivery.
Rielsen!
And he scores!
He's played against the most in Major League Soccer.
He's scored again against Philly.
And Atlanta have the lead.
Lobzhenitsa tucks inside centrally.
And now Jacob Glatz is caught in two minds.
Do I go with Lobzhenitsa?
Do I worry about the man behind me?
Daniel Riel just needs a little bit of that separation.
Good strength.
And they weren't happy with the first half, right?
You wanted more of this action.
Well, both sides looking to deliver.
Armada.
Mosquera.
Wiley.
Wiley for Dustinson!
This will be a good look for it here.
Just sneaks it into the near post.
Kisses it into the ground.
Shande Silva in the squad as well.
Can you still have the quality to create goals and score goals?
Well, yeah.
Daniel Riel doesn't have many moments of brilliance in this match.
But he delivers the most important thing that you need out of your number 9.
Oh, here's a mistake.
Ouar is in on goal.
Up against Kuzan.
Ouar scores!
And just like that, Philadelphia Union are back in this one.
But the inquest begins for Atlanta.
Masters of their own downfall in this goal.
But Philly have cut the deficit in half.
He hasn't been on the pitch very long.
This is a massive moment for him.
To stay composed in the right moments.
Pick his spot.
Getting his third goal of the season here.
Just beating Brad Kuzan.
They'll know that they're not out of games.
As long as they can weather the storm defensively, they can always score goals.
Long throw in.
Ouar again!
He's going again!
Stunning technique!
Kai Wagner.
What a hit.
Oh, on his weaker right foot.
The technique to beat Brad Kuzan from that distance.
Second year MLS midfielder.
That's a terrific ball to the foot of Topland, who continues on.
Five into the attack for St. Louis City.
Rasmus Ahl plays centrally.
Jump up!
Balloon over for the big man, Einshert, for St. Louis City.
And his first from the run of play for St. Louis since September 30th of last year.
Hasn't quite been enough.
Well, this is perfect from arm as in terms of his cross.
But watch the movement from Klaus.
He steps back.
He steps back from the defensive line.
