MLS: Fire Leaves TFC Still With Goose Egg Under "Points;" Galaxy, Quakes, Philly, Whitecaps Pick Up Wins; Timbers Hand SKC First Defeat

Seven games were played on Saturday in Major League Soccer.


At Toronto:


Patrick Nyarko scored the winning goal in the 58th minute as the Chicago Fire defeated still winless and pointless Toronto FC 3-2 on the road.


At Columbus, Ohio:


Will Bruin (59') and Brian Ching (81') each delivered a goal as the Houston Dynamo gained a 2-2 road draw with the Columbus Crew, both of whose goals came through the courtesy of Eddie Gaven (63', 74').


At Commerce City, Colorado:


Landon Donovan scored what proved to be the winning goal in the 39th minute as the Los Angeles Galaxy topped the home-standing Colorado Rapids 2-1.  Galaxy goalkeeper Josh Saunders stopped Omar Cummings' penalty kick in the first minute of second-half stoppage time to preserve the victory.


At Vancouver, British Columbia


Camilo Sanvezzo's goal in the 11th minute held up as the Vancouver Whitecaps knocked off FC Dallas 1-0 at home.


At Carson, California:


Freddy Adu scored the lone goal of the match in the 40th minute as the Philadelphia Union defeated Chivas USA 1-0 on the road despite ending the match with only nine men.


At Portland, Oregon:


Chance Myers' own goal in the 40th minute proved costly as the Portland Timbers ended four-game losing and five-game winless streaks by handing previously unbeaten and untied Sporting Kansas City their first defeat of the season, 1-0 at home.


At Santa Clara, California:


Khari Stephenson (47'), Simon Dawkins (90'+2) and Chris Wondolowski (90'+3) each scored a goal as the San Jose Earthquakes downed visiting Real Salt Lake 3-1.
