Bobby Convey scored his first goal in a Kansas City uniform Saturday, but his team still fell
short in the end.
Convey made a nice run into the box in the first half against Chicago, picked up a pass from
Roger Espinosa, and right-footed a slow ball into the net for his 31st goal in MLS.

Jeff Parke wasn't too thrilled about getting unexpectedly benched in April. So when the Seattle
Sounders center back earned his way back into Seattle's starting lineup, he didn't waste the
opportunity.
Parke manned the center this week for Seattle as the Western Conference club posted consecutive
shutouts this week against Los Angeles and Philadelphia, with the two clubs posting just two
combined shots on goal against Seattle.

Philly locals faced off on opposite sides of the field and determined the course of a match for
the first time in Philadelphia Union history.
Not that it was a good thing for any of them.
