Close calls were theme of the week at both ends of the table. At the top, it was Richmond trying to keep their unbeaten campaign going as they travelled north. On Friday the team nearly saw a late developing lead go for naught as the Rochester Rhinos tied things up in stoppage time and with seconds left nearly win with a ball that may have crossed the line but was ruled a no goal, and remain a matter of mystery thanks to no clear video replays of the event. A night later in Harrisburg the Kickers again went into the final half-hour scoreless, but found a winner with 13 minutes left to pull even with Orlando City atop the table.
At the end of the table, the pointless Antigua Barracuda side missed another great chance in another close call in Arizona. After falling in a narrow 1-0 result the previous week, the islanders within a hair of getting their first point again Thursday night in Phoenix only to see the Wolves score the lone tally in stoppage time to spoil the opportunity.

Columbus rallied for a win at home using a penalty and strikes from Tyson Wahl and Tony Tchani in the final 14 minutes to down visiting Dayton in their third meeting of the year after playing to a draw and posting an Open Cup win against the Dutch Lions.
The Crew Reserves netted more goals in their outing than the four others in action did in two matches with Montreal and New York going scoreless and the Galaxy edging host Portland in a pair of Sunday meetings.
