The warm aroma...<\/p><\/div>\n

Welcome back for another cup of MLS Morning Espresso, the sure-fire way to get that early-morning MLS fix you’ve been craving since hitting the snooze button for the fifth and final time.<\/p>\n

Speaking of hitting, Columbus<\/strong> spanked Joe Public FC<\/strong> to a three-nil annihilation at Crew Stadium. After a surprisingly quiet first half, Leandre Griffit (47′) and Jason Garey (51′)\u00a0quickly made it a two-goal contest before the hour. Steven Lenhart’s 79th minute strike furthered the Columbus cause, as they\u00a0clinched\u00a0a convincing victory over the Trinidadian side.<\/p>\n

A few thousand miles south in San Jose, Costa Rica,\u00a0the Sounders<\/strong>\u00a0were silenced by Saprissa<\/strong> 2-0. David Guzman scored a goal in the 56th, while Seattle squandered an opportunity to equalize when Osvaldo Alonso’s penalty kick was blocked by Fausto Gonzalez in the 68th minute. Allan Aleman\u00a0added a second Saprissa score in the 81st to give the home side the victory.<\/p>\n

The final gulp goes to the friendly between Chivas USA<\/strong> and CD Guadalajara<\/strong> at Petco Park in San Diego. While the stadium is typically reserved for Major League Baseball, the footballers\u00a0took it over and\u00a0used it to stage the big brother\/little brother showdown known as\u00a0ChivaClasico<\/em>. After the regulation ended with\u00a0the “friendly” score of 0-0, PKs were artificially administered to decide a victor, and the little brother – Chivas USA –\u00a0bested\u00a0the bigger one, 4-2, after Michael Lahoud’s decisive penalty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
