DC looked fantastic in the first half, netting two goals, but simply stopped playing for the duration of the second half, allowing Chivas to rally back and tie up the game on a brace by Juan Pablo Angel.
Prediction: Wrong
New York Red Bulls [1-3] Real Salt Lake
Defensive errors doomed New York, as they gifted RSL three goals before the half hour mark. They were able to reduce RSL's lead late through a spectacular goal by Joel Lindpere but their early defensive errors proved simply too much to overcome.
Prediction: Wrong
Portland Timbers [1-1] San Jose Earthquakes
The Timbers got an early lead through a Kenny Cooper goal, but allowed San Jose to dictate much of the play throughout the rest of the match equalizing on a Kairi Stephenson goal.

FC Dallas [0-1] Houston Dynamo
FC Dallas continued to struggle offensively, despite creating several great chances and finding woodwork three separate times. The Dynamo took advantage of Dallas' struggles with only a few minutes remaining in the match, Davis sending in a cross from a corner kick and Jeff Cameron easily heading the ball past Kevin Hartman.
Prediction: Correct
New York Red Bulls [2-0] Portland Timbers
The suspension of Rafa Marquez seemed to have done the Red Bulls some good, keeping a clean sheet against the Timbers. A great individual effort goal by Dane Richards and a Luke Rodgers penalty kick consisted of the scoring.
Prediction: Wrong
Columbus Crew [0-1] LA Galaxy
The Crew had several great chances to strike first and possibly win the match, but every chance was knocked away by Saunders or stricken off target. Landon Donovan proved to be a catalyst in the Galaxy's attack, a shot of his on goal getting saved by Hesmer but Chad Barret eating up the rebound late in stoppage.
Prediction: Wrong
DC United [4-1] Real Salt Lake
DC absolutely tore through a significantly weakened RSL, Najar striking first in the thirteenth minute followed by a spectacular Dwayne De Rosario hat trick that was capped off with a tremendous free kick goal in the thirty second minute. RSL was able to put one back late thanks to Saborio, but ultimately just couldn't get any more from the match.
Prediction: Correct
Colorado Rapids [1-1] San Jose Earthquakes
Wondolowski and the Earthquakes struck first on a rebound from a Pickens save, but couldn't hold of the Rapids, Drew Moor striking the equalizing goal late in the second half.
