Yeah, there are a lot of good matches this week, but Kansas City hosts Salt Lake and that’s all that matters in MLS.
LA Galaxy Vs. Portland Timbers, 2012 MLS: LA Back On The Smiling Side Of The Scoreboard
Just a few minutes later, Portland should have been up by two, but the linesman disallowed a brilliant goal. Boyd was played in with a ball that was behind him, but he flicked it back to himself before scoring with a great bit of skill. The problem is that the flag was up, which replays proved to be a bad decision by the linesman.
It would only be tied until Juninho got involved in the 83rd minute. The Brazilian was given a bit of space from 20 yards and he hit a low, hard shot that got through traffic and beat Perkins to the near post for the go-ahead goal.

A very lengthy suspension (a minimum of five matches and it should be longer) has to come with this kick and giving Salinas 10 free shots at Marquez wouldn’t be out of line either. It’s time for the torches and pitchforks to come out. Not even Marquez’s mother will try to stop you.

Pontius came off the bench and was free up on the left side of the box with just one defender there. One v. one, Pontius is always going to have the edge and he cut inside before hitting a great curling shot just inside the far post for the winner.
