Eight Major League Soccer contests were played on Saturday.

At Houston:
Danny Califf scored the lone goal of the match in the 5th minute as the Philadelphia Union knocked off the Houston Dynamo 1-0 on the road.
At Commerce City, Colorado:
Goals scored in the first half by Jeff Larentowicz (7'), Omar Cummings (28', becoming the first player in MLS history to score a goal in four consecutive season openers), and Jamie Smith (30') proved too much as the Colorado Rapids began defense of their MLS title by ruining the visiting Portland Timbers' MLS debut 3-1.
