... embarrassing loss in Houston. It was a game that they pretty much had until an errant handball on Ugo Ihemelu cost the Rapids points on the road. I doubt this will be the prettiest game we’ve seen this season. Last year when these two faced on in Primetime, the game saw two own-goals in an ugly 1-1 draw.

... to be the game that the Dynamo would break free. Dicey call on the PK late for the handball on Ugo Ihemelu. It had to be called though, clearly it was a mental error.

One win and all seems right with two-time champs. 10. Los Angeles (2-3-2). No goals, no assist from Donovan, Becks translates into Galaxy loss. 11. Real Salt Lake (2-3-2). Jason Kreis should talk mess about officials more often....

... Rosario's spot-kick goal came as a result of a hand ball in the Rapids' box courtesy of defender Ugo Ihemelu in the 86th minute. Referee Tim Weyland seemed to hesitate on the call but after a couple of seconds ran to the goalie box pointing to the penalty-kick spot. Clavijo refused to comment directly on the play, but his few words told the tale. "Let me put it this way," Clavijo said, visibly...
