11 Toronto FC- 30 7 07 16 23 - 48 28 -25
12 Los Angeles 30 6 08 16 38 - 51 26 -13
13 Salt Lake-- 30 5 08 17 30 - 48 23 -18
With this win, LAG at least avoided the tag of "Worst Team in MLS History" & improved its projected finish to 2nd-from-bottom as compared to the last post, though they are still rooted at last place for now & quite far-far-away from the 8th & final playoff spot.
6 more games to go for LAG in September, next-up is Chivas USA on Sep-13. Although LAG has won most of their games against Chivas since 2005, they were well-beaten 0-3 when they last met on Aug-23. This is going to be another crucial clash for them...
