Alle loro spalle il "solito" Brek Shea, giunto al nono centro stagionale, testimonia la parziale miopia dei coach made in Usa regalando ai Dallas il successo in casa di Toronto ed al suo tecnico Hyndman l'aggancio al secondo posto nella Conference. E qualcuno ripenserà a quando inizio torneo Shea era stato riproposto con esiti disastrosi al centro della difesa texana.
Di male in peggio Toronto che a dispetto dei nuovi arrivi, ieri in campo anche il last minute difensore della Guadalupe Eddy Viator ed ultimo posto in classifica perchè i Revs, colpiti dal lutto per la scomparsa della Lady Myra Kraft, moglie del patron Robert, piazzano l'exploit in casa dei DC United che evidentemente soffrono proprio giocare al "RFK".
Doppiette per Wondolowski ed Hassli nel botta e risposta tra Earthquakes e Whitecaps in un piccolo revival del soccer degli anni settanta almeno per quanto concerne i nomi dei team. Per il team della Baia sembra l'ennesima occasione persa per proiettarsi in avanti, ed i play-off appaiono terribilmente lontani.
Anche perchè ad Ovest risorgono i campioni in carica dei Colorado Rapids che infliggono l'ennesimo malo rovescio ai New York Red Bulls un 4-1 che porta impresse le firme del gambiano Sanna Nyassi, tre gol ed un assist, e di Cummings tre assist con dediche allo sfortunato compagno Conor Casey infortunato. Salva l'onore il decimo centro per Thierry Henry, capocannoniere in solitario del torneo.
