Last night was a battle of the big guns. The first place teams in either conference - Chicago Fire and Chivas USA - played at the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles. You could tell both of these sides were near the top...this match was awesome. It had everything: goals, cards, late drama, and some bad refereeing - which is pretty much an MLS requirement these days.
Chivas USA were 2-1 up in the 88th minute when Patrick Nyarko equalized for Chicago, and it looked like the Fire were going to leave with a point. Think again though. In the 94th minute, referee Terry Vaughan awarded Chicago a penalty, which was easily converted by Cuauhtemoc Blanco. Check out the call though - how on earth is this a penalty? Nice dive McBride...

I dunno, I've watched it several times and this camera angle doesn't show much. It looks to me like the defender had his hands on McBride's back...
