TORONTO -- Oswaldo Minda scored in the first half Saturday to give Chivas USA a 1-0 victory over Toronto FC that extended Torontos season-opening losing streak to a franchise-worst five games. Eric Decker Jersey . Toronto (0-5-0) has yet to win or tie, score at home or even hold a lead in five MLS games this season. And it has a 1-6-2 combined record in league and CONCACAF Champions League play, having been outscored 20-9. The defeat also marked the franchises first ever five-game losing streak., Still on this day, Toronto could have won 5-1, with a slew of second-half scoring chances. But one ball after another deflected off a defender, bounced the wrong way, hit a post or found goalkeeper Dan Kennedy. The only thing missing was a black cat crossing the field in front of goal. Chivas (3-3-0) has now won all three games on the road and lost all three at home. Toronto lost four straight to kick off its debut season before beating the Chicago Fire 3-1 on May 12, 2007. The Fire visit Toronto next Saturday. Perhaps the only other good news for the announced crowd of 18,476 at BMO Field was that captain Torsten Frings dressed for the first time since straining a hamstring March 17 in the season-opening loss in Seattle. The former German international, however, was rooted to his seat and did not warm up with the other substitutes as the game wore on. Frings and fellow designated player Julian de Guzman were part of a bench with more than $3.2 million in combined salary last season. Chivas, a tidy defensive side with few attacking options in the absence of the injured Juan Pablo Angel, made the most of its limited chances. Toronto didnt and once again paid for a defensive mistake. The lone goal came in the 31st minute off Mindas downward header from a corner created by a glorious attack by Chivas. Ryan Johnson was attempting to mark the Ecuador international. The visitors stroked the ball around and had several touches in the penalty box before Torontos acting captain Richard Eckersley poked the ball out. Minda had been influential from the get-go in his role as holding midfielder. Johnson looked certain to tie it in the 80th minute when, found alone in the corner of the box, his left-footed shot went through Kennedy. But somehow defender Heath Pearce flew through the air to clear the ball as it was about to go in. A Johnson header off a Eric Avila cross went just wide in the 84th. And Kennedy made an amazing reflex stop on Danny Koevermans in the 89th minute. Defender Adrian Cann returned to the lineup for the first time since ripping up his knee in training last July. Ty Harden made way for the Canadian international. It was an overcast 11-degree day with a stiff wind in Torontos face for the first half. There was some early bite to the game with a yellow card going to Chivas English winger Ryan Smith in the sixth minute for scything Eckersley down in retaliation for an earlier foul by the Englishman. Joao Plata shot wide in the ninth, wasting a nice layoff by Koevermans. Kennedy was both good and lucky in the 16th when he rushed out for a loose ball. He arrived first, but the ball squibbed away as a Toronto attacker came at him. Fortunately no other Toronto player was in the area to take advantage. Toronto keeper Milos Kocic had to be sharp in the 20th minute to parry a deflection off a Ryan Smith lone-range shot. He did it again in the 41st, off a rocket from distance by Ben Zemanski after Eckesley gave the ball away. The home side, meanwhile, did not manage a shot on target in the first half. But Toronto came out aggressively after the break and Miller Bolanos has to head the ball off the line from a Toronto corner in the 48th minute as Chivas faced the wind. Kennedy stopped a Koevermans backheel from close range in the 70th minute, probably without knowing too much about it. Koevermans kicked the goalpost in frustration. The Chivas lineup featured veteran Canadian international Ante Jazic and former Toronto FC midfielder Nick LaBrocca. Jazic was part of a Chivas backline that has started all six games this season in front of Kennedy.

Elvis Dumervil Jersey . The plug might have been pulled for good with Skate Canadas announcement Friday that Sandhu has withdrawn from the Jan. 16-20 Canadian championships in Vancouver. Peyton Manning Jersey . The Kings will absorb the remainder of Johnsons contract providing the Raptors with additional roster and salary cap flexibility. "The addition of Landry Fields and Terrence Ross created some crowding at the wing positions," said Raptors President and General Manager Bryan Colangelo in a statement. TAMPA, états-Unis - Le Canadien de Montréal a été foudroyé par Steven Stamkos. Le jeune prodige du Lightning de Tampa Bay a marqué deux buts et récolté deux aides pour mener les siens à un gain de 4-1, jeudi. Il sagit dun troisième revers consécutif et dun huitième à leurs dix derniers matchs pour les troupiers de Jacques Martin. Cest aussi un cinquième échec en six parties au cours de ce plus long séjour à létranger de léquipe cette saison, qui prendra fin vendredi, face aux Panthers de la Floride. Les Montréalais avaient pourtant bien amorcé la rencontre, marquant dès la 58e seconde de jeu. En tentant de rejoindre Brian Gionta qui fon?ait au filet, Max Pacioretty a marqué son deuxième de la saison quand sa passe a dévié sur le patin du défenseur Brett Clark pour se retrouver derrière Cédrick Desjardins, qui effectuait son premier départ dans la LNH. Cette avance durera 22 minutes. Mais alors que le Lightning profitait dun double avantage numérique en début de deuxième — le Canadien sest fait prendre avec trop de joueurs sur la glace deux fois en lespace de 45 secondes! — Martin St-Louis a déjoué Carey Price dun angle fermé pour son 16e de la saison. Un peu moins de 10 minutes plus tard, Pavvel Kubina a inscrit le but gagnant en faisant dévier un tir de St-Louis derrière Price. Peyton Manning Womens Jersey. Le Lightning a mis le match hors de portée du Tricolore en troisième. Sur un deux contre un, Stamkos a été accroché par Roman Hamrlik. Même si lattaquant a été en mesure de décocher un tir sur Price, on lui a accordé un tir de pénalité et Stamkos a inscrit son 30e de la campagne. Le Tricolore a protesté à la suite de ce but, puisque Stamkos a déjoué Price en effectuant un pivot complet sur lui-même. Les officiels ont toutefois jugé que la progression de Stamkos se faisait toujours vers lavant et que le but était bel et bien valide. Pas de doute sur le deuxième du match de Stankos cependant. Le prolifique marqueur a contourné le filet de Price, qui cédera sa place à Alex Auld quelques minutes plus tard, pour loger le disque dans une cage abandonnée. Ces quatre points amassés par Stamkos lui permettent de porter son total pour la saison à 56 en 38 parties, au deuxième rang de la LNH, derrière les 65 points de Sidney Crosby. Desjardins bloquera finalement les 27 lancers dirigés vers lui après le but de Pacioretty. Price a de son c?té fait face à 20 tirs, cédant 16 fois. Auld a bloqué les deux lancers quil aura d? affronter. ' ' '
