FRISCO, Texas -- Drew Moor scored in the 31st minute to lead
FC Dallas to a 1-0 win over the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night. Moor scored his second goal of the season after he angled a
header into the right corner of the Rapids net from inside of 6
yards. Dax McCarty registered his team-leading fifth assist of the
season after he crossed a free kick from about 35 yards on the
right flank which bounced at the top of the goalie's box to Moor. FC Dallas goalie Ray Burse made his debut in an MLS league game
and finished with three saves. He started in placed of regular
goalie Dario Sala, who sat out because of a right knee injury. FC Dallas (10-6-3) hasn't lost a regular-season home game to the
Rapids since 2001. The Rapids (4-9-6) extended their winless streak
to 10 games and have been shut out six times in eight games.<
^Real Salt Lake 1, Dynamo 0= SALT LAKE CITY -- Robbie Findley scored in the 84th minute
and Real Salt Lake snapped Houston's 11-game unbeaten streak. It was Findley's fifth goal of the season, and third since
joining Real Salt Lake (2-9-6) on June 21 following a trade with
the Los Angeles Galaxy. His previous two goals came in Real Salt
Lake's only other win of the season, over D.C. United on June 23. Real Salt Lake snapped a four-game losing streak. Houston
(10-6-4) hadn't lost an MLS league game since May 26 to D.C.
United. RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando made three saves for his fourth
shutout of the season.<
^Crew 0, Fire 0= BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. -- Matt Pickens made four saves in his
second straight shutout and Chicago played to a scoreless draw with
Columbus. Columbus (6-5-8) nearly broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute
but was denied by Pickens, who preserved the tie for Chicago
(5-8-5). Fire captain Chris Armas attempted to clear the ball but
instead sent a short pass to the top of the box. With Crew players
running toward the ball and an open net, Pickens slid across the
box and made the save. Fire midfielder Cuauhtemoc Blanco had back-to-back chances a few
minutes later. He floated the ball just wide of the right post in
the 72nd minute, and sent a free kick over the top in the 74th. Columbus forward Andy Herron took a shot in the 87th minute that
Pickens stopped with his face. Paulo Wanchope made his Fire debut, entering the game in the
46th minute for Chad Barrett, and took three shots in 45 minutes. ^End
