MLS: Galaxy, Dynamo, Crew, DCU Pick Up Wins

Six games were contested in Major League Soccer on Saturday.


At Vancouver, British Columbia:


Landon Donovan scored twice (61', PK-75') as the Los Angeles Galaxy erupted in the second half and routed the hapless Vancouver Whitecaps 4-0, extending their unbeaten streak to 14 games.


At Houston:


Brian Ching scored twice (23', 70') as the Houston Dynamo defeated the visiting Seattle Sounders 3-1.


At Kansas City, Kansas:


Teal Bunbury's 89th-minute equalizer enabled Sporting Kansas City to gain a 1-1 home draw with the New England Revolution, whose tally came courtesy of Rajko Lekic at 38 minutes.


At Sandy, Utah:


Early goals from Eddie Gaven (4') and Tom Heinemann (9') held up as the Columbus Crew handed Real Salt Lake a very rare home setback 2-0.


At Santa Clara, California:


Dwayne De Rosario came back to haunt one of his former teams as he provided both goals (57', 67') in DC United's 2-0 road win over the San Jose Earthquakes, their first in Northern California since 1998.


At Portland, Oregon:


Peri Marosevic (71') and Danny Koevermans (81') provided the goal power that enabled Toronto FC to erase a two-goal deficit and gain a 2-2 road draw with the Portland Timbers.  Eddie Johnson (23') and Jack Jewsbury (PK-57') provided the scoring for the Timbers, whose home MLS winless streak stretched to six games (the two draws during this streak resulted from Portland blowing two-goal leads).
