6. Philadelphia Union - 1 pt. | 0-0 draw vs. Colorado Rapids, this week: at Real Salt Lake

As Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter put it after the match, Crew SC "did everything but score" against the Dynamo. The Black & Gold dominated possession and out-shot its opponent 18-8, but couldn't beat a Herculean effort by Dynamo 'keeper Tyler Deric.
