MLS: There were more ties and fewer goals than most fans would have liked, but what the much-anticipated Rivalry Week lacked in decisive outcomes and offensive fireworks, it made up for in tension, late drama and doses of controversy.
The Red Bulls may have had a late winning goal go unrecognized by the officials, while FC Dallas had a late winner brought down by Kenny Cooper’s arm allowed against Houston. After that tense Texas derby, Dynamo coach Dominic Kinnear unexpectedly lashed out in the press at the FCD striker.
