And all three clubs, since May 1, have decided to make a change at the top: firing their coaches. Brad Friedel was the latest head coach out of a job, a day after his Revs side got trounced on the road 5-0 by the Chicago Fire.

Missed Sitters From Dwyer & Ramirez & More From MLS Week 9

After five midweek games, this weekend in MLS was one of the tamer bouts of action of the season so far. There was just one game in which both teams scored multiple goals, though that affair between Sporting Kansas City and the New England Revolution had just about everything. There could have been a couple of more goals this weekend, too, if not for glaring misses from Dom Dwyer and Christian Ramirez.

LAFC Continue Their Dominance In MLS Despite Midweek Defeat

This weekend in MLS featured the Parley jerseys, made by adidas from recycled plastic. It's an interesting idea from the league, but it caused plenty of confusion for fans watching the games. This was the third year of the Parley jerseys, and for the second consecutive year every game featured the two different jerseys. That made it difficult to remember which team was which in any given game, as teams were sometimes wearing unfamiliar colors.

D.C. United got their second win on the road on Saturday night, defeating the Colorado Rapids 3-2. It was a wild affair in Commerce City, as United fell behind early, reeled off three goals in an eight-minute span, and then had to hold on for dear life in the second half.

Goalkeeper Blunders, Kaku's Moment Of Madness & More From MLS

Five different players scored two goals in MLS this weekend, highlighted by a pair of goalkeeping gaffes, and ended on an unfortunate note on Sunday night.

Lucas Rodriguez Put On A Show For DCU, While Durkin & Pines Shined

D.C. United shrugged off two underwhelming performances at home over the past week, going on the road Saturday to defeat the Colorado Rapids 3-2. It was a nervy second half, much in the vain of United's previous road game — a 2-1 win over Orlando City. But United held on and earned their seventh point on the road from three games this season with the win.

D.C. United Survive Second-Half Scare, Beat Colorado Rapids 3-2

D.C. United had to battle through a tough second half, short rest, altitude, a rotated roster, and a new look formation, but did just enough on Saturday night to defeat the Colorado Rapids 3-2 at Dicks Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado. After falling behind to a Benny Feilhaber goal, the Black-and-Red reeled off three goals in an eight-minute stretch of the first half. Goals from Luciano Acosta, Chris Durkin, and Lucas Rodriguez were enough for the visitors, despite Kei Kamara's second-half tally and a flurry of chances for the hosts.

First kick is set for 9:00 PM ET, and the match will be broadcast right here on FloFC.

D.C. United Looking For Rebound In The Rockies Against The Colorado Rapids

The past week has been mostly forgettable for D.C. United, as the calendar turned from March to April, moving the MLS season into its second month. To end March, United beat Orlando City on the road, thanks to a goal and an assist from Wayne Rooney. Joseph Mora suffered a broken jaw and concussion in the 2-1 win, but that was the only negative out of United's first win on the road in nearly a year.

Zimmerman Blast, Kljestan Winner Against Former Club Highlight MLS Weekend

With the international break drawing plenty of MLS players away from their side, there were only five games on the league schedule this weekend. Fourteen teams had the weekend off, allowing them time to assess where they stood after the first three weeks of an already wild MLS season. For the other 10 teams, there was no such break, and those teams had to deal with international absences and red cards.
