Guevara goal leads TFC past previously unbeaten Chivas USA
Soccer Betting Lines
04/22/2009 -
Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Toronto FC hadn't won since its 2009 Major
League Soccer opener on March 21.
Chivas USA hadn't lost in five league fixtures yet this season.
Current form should say that when the two teams squared off at BMO Field on
Wednesday night the Goats should come away with a road victory over the Reds,
right?
Wrong.
TFC earned its first-ever win over Chivas USA, 1-0, in front of almost 20,000
screaming home fans to jump into third in the Eastern table.
Amado Guevara scored the game's only goal in the 36th minute as TFC (2-2-1)
hung on for its first home victory of the season in three tries.
Chivas USA (4-1-1) suffered its first taste of defeat on the young season, but
still holds a four-point lead on Seattle - which hosts San Jose on Saturday -
in the Western table.
TFC actually played the game without head coach John Carver on the bench
because he was disgusted with the officials after receiving a fine from the
league about comments he made last week. Assistant Chris Cummins ran the
bench.
"John has his reasons [for not being on the bench] and I don't want to get
into it," Cummins said.
The Reds, playing without attacker Dwayne De Rosario because of a hamstring
injury, controlled the momentum in the game from the get-go, limiting Chivas USA to just one shot on goal the entire match.
Guevara gave the home side the first-half lead with his third goal of the
season after collecting a loose ball in the Goats penalty area and volleying
it past goalkeeper Zach Thornton. The chance was made possible by striker
Danny Dichio, who pounced on the loose ball and headed it into the area for
Guevara, who eluded three defenders before firing the shot home.
"Dichio made the ball just right for me," Guevara said through an interpreter.
"I made my way to the net and he put the ball just right for me to put into
the back of the net."
That was how the score stayed as TFC locked down the midfield, not allowing
any real legitimate scoring opportunities the entire game.
"It felt more like 30 minutes," Cummins said of the last 10 minutes of the
game. "[Goalkeeper Stefan Frei] didn't have to do a lot. I just told the lads
to just try and enjoy the game. Don't take chances but pass the ball."
Both teams will be back in action this weekend, with Chivas USA hosting
Dallas on Saturday night, while Toronto hosts Kansas City on Sunday.
