Chicago 2 - Toronto 0
The Chicago Fire got the win at home on Sunday night in an attempt to keep their dwindling playoff hopes alive. Dominic Oduro put the Fire up in the 16th minute, and Dan Gargan doubled the lead in the 69th. Sean Johnson kept the clean sheet against a Toronto squad that had chances.
“That’s football," Toronto coach Aron Winter said. "At the moment you unlock, then those balls are going to go in. But at that moment like today when you hit the post twice, often the ball comes back for a rebound and you get a chance for a shot on goal but it didn’t go in the goal. That’s soccer. For the most part, I think we played well even if we lost 2 to nil. We have had a lot of changes. We were not sharp with the finishing. That is something I think we can blame ourselves."
Kansas City 1 - DC United 0
The difference at LIVESTRONG Park was a 19th minute Kei Kamara goal. Jimmy Nielsen recorded the shutout for Sporting as DC tries to workout how a week that started with the potential for a big jump in the Eastern Conference ended with them in 6th-place.
