Dynamo and TFC Draw; DCU, Crew, and Fire Triumph

Four Major League Soccer matches were contested on Saturday.

At Toronto:

Bobby Boswell's equalizer at 75 minutes enabled the Houston Dynamo to gain a 1-1 road draw with Toronto FC. Dwayne De Rosario scored against his former teammates at 37 minutes for the hosts.

At Washington:

Jaime Moreno (PK-47'), Bryan Namoff (56'), and Luciano Emilio (61') all provided second-half goals as DC United overtook a 1-0 halftime deficit to defeat the visiting Colorado Rapids 3-1.

At Columbus, Ohio:

Jason Garey doubled (31', 52') as the Columbus Crew stretched their home unbeaten streak to an MLS record-tying 18 games as the defending champs tripled visiting Real Salt Lake 3-1.

At Chicago:

Late goals in the second half from Patrick Nyarko (82') and Cuauhtemoc Blanco (90') help the Chicago Fire put the kibosh on their franchise-record six-match winless streak by blanking the hapless San Jose Earthquakes 2-0.
