ORLANDO CITY SC vs D.C. UNITED
ORLANDO CITRUS BOWL, Orlando, Fla.
June 14, 2015 (WEEK 15, MLS Game #150)
7 p.m. ET (FS1 / FOX Deportes)
Two teams now suddenly in the thick of the Eastern Conference chase for positions meet for a third time this season when Orlando City SC play host to D.C. United on Sunday evening at the Citrus Bowl before a FOX Sports 1 audience. Orlando City extended their undefeated run to four games with a wild 3-2 comeback win at the Chicago Fire last weekend, now sitting in fourth place in the division. United are still atop the East and the MLS overall table, despite having their long home unbeaten run come to an end last week in a 2-1 loss to Toronto FC.
  • The teams are meeting for the third time ever. In the first meeting April 3 at the Citrus Bowl, Luis Silva hit a stunning free kick in second-half stoppage time to give United a 1-0 win. On May 13 at RFK Stadium, Kofi Opare and Chris Rolfe scored nine minutes apart in the second half to cancel out an early Cyle Larin goal as United claimed a 2-1 victory.
  • United had their league home undefeated streak put to an end after 16 games in a 2-1 loss to Toronto FC on Saturday evening at RFK Stadium, the club’s second-longest undefeated run in regular season games in its history. It was their first loss in 20 games in all competitions in the nation’s capital.
  • Orlando City SC made it four games in a row without loss, becoming the fourth team in MLS history to gain two own goals in the same match on their way to a 3-2 win against the Chicago Fire on Saturday evening at Toyota Park.
  • Cyle Larin, the No. 1 overall selection in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft, netted his fifth goal of the year and his fourth over the last six matches in the win vs. Chicago, leading all MLS rookies this year.

7:30 p.m. ET (TWC-OH; TWCSN-LA / TWCD)
A pair of clubs looking to move from their mid-table positions in their respective conferences clash when Columbus Crew SC meet the LA Galaxy at Mapfre Stadium on Saturday evening. Crew SC had their current winless run stretched to five games last weekend, in a 2-1 defeat by the Montréal Impact on their home ground.

  • The Galaxy had their league home undefeated streak put to an end after 23 games – the third-longest such streak in MLS annals – in their 1-0 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday evening at StubHub Center.

  • Crew SC took the only meeting between the teams a season ago, a 4-1 win in Columbus on Aug. 16 that was their first victory against the Galaxy since 2009. The Galaxy had won five of the six meetings in between, with one draw.
  • The Galaxy had come away with points on their three previous trips to Columbus, with two wins and a draw, before last year’s Crew SC win. The Galaxy have a four-game home undefeated streak alive vs. Columbus dating back to 2007, with two wins and two draws in that time.

7 p.m. ET (YES; TVA)
A pair of clubs looking to jumpstart a rise up the Eastern Conference table over the second half of the season meet when New York City FC play host to the Montréal Impact on Saturday evening at Yankee Stadium. NYCFC put an end to their 11-game winless run, but sit just five points outside of the playoff positions following their 2-1 win at Philadelphia Union last weekend. The Impact have now won back-to-back games, coming off their first road victory in more than a year in a 2-1 triumph at Columbus Crew SC last weekend.
  • New York City FC put an end to their winless streak after 11 games with their 2-1 win Saturday against Philadelphia Union at PPL Park. It matched the third-longest winless run for an expansion team in MLS history; it was their first victory since March 15.
  • The Impact won their fourth game in the last five outings and for the first time in league play away from Stade Saputo, claiming a 2-1 win against Columbus Crew SC on Saturday evening.
  • The win in Columbus put an end to a 25-game road winless streak for the Impact, the second-longest in MLS history. The New York Red Bulls went 27 games without a road win in 2008-09. It was the club’s first league win outside of Montréal since a 4-2 win at New England in September 2013.
  • This is the first meeting ever between the clubs, the first of three meetings this season, all over the next six weeks. They will meet at Stade Saputo on July 4, then back at Yankee Stadium on Aug. 1.

It's the first meeting for the Rocky Mountain Cup this year as Real Salt Lake entertain the Colorado Rapids at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday evening. The long-time Western rivals are sitting in the final two places in the conference, separated by four points. Real return home off another road defeat, falling 2-1 at Vancouver Whitecaps FC last weekend. The Rapids fell to their second consecutive loss, the Portland Timbers hitting for a late winner in a 2-1 victory last weekend at Dickís Sporting Goods Park.
  • Javier Morales scored his second goal directly from a free kick this season, but Real still suffered a second consecutive loss in a 2-1 defeat by Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday evening at BC Place.
  • The Rapids have lost back-to-back games for the first time this season, the Portland Timbers hitting for a late winner in a 2-1 triumph Saturday evening at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
  • Real won all three meetings between the teams a year ago. RSL took a 2-1 victory May 17 and a 5-1 win Aug. 19 – the biggest margin of victory in the all-time series – both at Rio Tinto Stadium; their 1-0 win Aug. 2 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park was the first by a road team in the Rocky Mountain Cup series since 2007.
  • The rivals play for the Rocky Mountain Cup, a trophy awarded by the supporters groups of both teams.

In 2007, the RSL win also ended the Rapids’ playoff hopes, though Real also did not qualify

It’s now 11 games in a row without a victory for NYCFC, coming off a 1-1 home draw with the Houston Dynamo at Yankee Stadium last weekend.
  • David Villa scored his third MLS goal, his first since April 11, converting a penalty kick, but NYCFC still reached a 1-1 draw with the Houston Dynamo at Yankee Stadium on Saturday evening.
  • NYCFC saw their overall winless streak extended to 11 games; the longest winless streak for an expansion team is 14 games, set by Vancouver Whitecaps FC in 2011. NYCFC also saw their Yankee Stadium winless run stretched to six games.
  • The teams are meeting for the third time this season, with the two previous meetings coming over a five-day span. On April 11 at PPL Park, Vincent Nogueira scored well into second-half stoppage time to give Union a dramatic 2-1 victory. Then on April 16 at Yankee Stadium, Union’s CJ Sapong netted a late equalizer to cancel out a Mehdi Ballouchy and leave the teams in a 1-1 draw.
