Ancora un k.o. per i Real Salt Lake che evidentemente pagano anche un calo fisico anticipato legato all'aver inaugurato con ampio anticipo la stagione tra i team americani, oltre che diverse assenze. La squadra dello Utah è superata per 2-0 dallo Sporting a segno con Espinoza, poi espulso, e Bunbury. L'undici di Vermes riaggancia a quota 30 i Red Bulls e forte di un calendario con un inizio "slow", in queste settimane non ha perso colpi ed ora vede alla portata un piazzamento nelle posizioni migliori dell'East Conference.
Del resto Philadelphia continua a lasciar punti per strada pareggiando per 1-1 a Chicago: al vantaggio degli ospiti con Paunovic, risponde il debuttante Pavel Pardo, subito protagonista. Ma l'inversione di rotta per i Fire sembra impossibile e molti gradirebbero un ritorno di Bob Bradley.
