D.C., Allsopp top Union for first win since June
Soccer Betting Lines
08/22/2010 -
Washington, D.C. (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Danny Allsopp scored twice and D.C. United
beat the Philadelphia Union, 2-0, on Sunday afternoon at RFK Stadium to snap a
five-game losing streak and nine-match winless run in Major League Soccer.
Allsopp scored in each half, as United (4-14-3) won for the first time since a
3-2 win over Seattle Sounders FC in early June to give interim coach Ben Olsen
his first victory.
Olsen replaced Curt Onalfo following a 3-0 defeat to Real Salt Lake on July 31
and lost his first two games for the team he played with from 1998-2009.
The Union (4-11-5) won their first-ever game against United in April, 3-2, but
were shutout for just the fourth time this season as their winless run reached
six matches.
Philadelphia had the first real chance of the match through Sebastian Le Toux,
who leads the team with nine goals and nine assists, in the sixth minute. He
opened space against Jed Zayner in the penalty area, but United rookie goalie
Bill Hamid made a strong save.
United opened the scoring inside 22 minutes when Allsopp pounced on a mistake
by Union defender Danny Califf. D.C. rookie Andy Najar drove a cross in from
the right wing and Califf slipped as he tried to clear. The ball deflected off
Califf to an open Allsopp, and he easily slotted into the bottom-left corner.
Philadelphia had chance late in the first half to tie the match, but Califf's
effort off a free kick deflected off teammate Fred on a crowded goal line.
Santino Quaranta curled a good chance for United just around the right post
from 18 yards early in the second half, and Allsopp followed with his second
goal in the 63rd.
Najar helped create the goal with a run down the right. He then slipped a pass
across the top of the 18, where Pablo Hernandez dummied the ball to let it run
to Allsopp, and he hit a left-footed shot past Union goalie Chris Seitz.
Jaime Moreno nearly capped United's win with his 133rd career goal in stoppage
time but missed wide left.
Hamid finished with three saves for his first MLS shutout.
Philadelphia plays its next MLS game on Saturday at the New England Revolution
and D.C. visits Chivas USA on Aug. 29.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
