MLS: Penalty Kick Sends RSL Past Chicago; Sounders Demolish Crew In Columbus; TFC Get First Win For New Coach; Rapids Blank Revs; Landon Donovan Pulls Through For Galaxy

Five games were contested in Major League Soccer on Saturday.

At Sandy, Utah:

Alvaro Saboria scored the only goal of the match with his successful penalty kick at 45 minutes as Real Salt Lake defeated the visiting Chicago Fire 1-0.  RSL's home unbeaten streak has stretched to an MLS-record 23 games.

At Columbus, Ohio:

At hat trick from Blaise Nkufo (3', 38', 74'), in fact, the first three goals of his MLS career, proved more than enough as the Seattle Sounders demolished the Columbus Crew 4-0 on the road. 

At Houston:

Dwayne De Rosario scored twice in the second half (60', 90') as Toronto FC came from behind to defeat DeRo's former club, the Houston Dynamo 2-1.  It was the Reds' first win under interim head coach Nick Dasovic. 

At Commerce City, Colorado:

Omar Cummings (5'), Conor Casey (35'), and Wells Thompson (82') each delivered a goal as the Colorado Rapids dominated the visiting New England Revolution 3-0.  

At Carson, California:


Landon Donovan's late double (81', 86') enabled the Los Angeles Galaxy to come from behind and defeat visiting DC United 2-1.
