Danny Dichio the main man for Toronto on Wednesday, scoring the game's only goal in the seventh minute as the hosts held on to defeat DC in the first of two games in four days between the two Eastern Conference sides. DC won Saturday's return leg 3-2 at RFK as Toronto twice took the lead thru Dichio. Laurent Robert was sent off for Toronto deep into second half stoppage time.
As reported before, expansioneers San Jose Earthquakes notched the first home win of their maiden season 2-1 on Thursday against the franchise formerly known as San Jose Earthquakes (now doing business as Houston Dynamo).
Visiting New England scored from a parried penalty kick on 89' away to East leaders Columbus for a 1-0 win that moved the winners onto level points with Columbus and Chicago atop the East at 19 apiece.
In Saturday's Western Conference games, visiting Chivas beat leaders Colorado 2-1. Two late goals by hosts Dallas sufficed to overturn Salt Lake 2-1 after both sides had been reduced to ten men on 48', and Los Angeles moved to the top of the conference standings with their 3-1 defeat of Kansas City that was punctuated by a Beckham goal struck from his own half with the KC 'keeper playing up for a desperation corner very late on.
In Sunday's match, Chicago went into Giants Stadium and hammered New York 1-5 in a game that wasn't as close as the final score would tend to indicate.
Training for international friendlies preparatory to World Cup qualifying is under way, but the league plays on as though nothing unusual is happening.
