Three games were played in Major League Soccer on Sunday.
At Carson, California:
The Los Angeles Galaxy launched their search of a third straight MLS Cup title with a 4-0 home dousing of the Chicago Fire as Mike Magee delivered a hat trick (38', 68', 74') in their first match of the post-David Beckham era.
At Portland, Oregon:
Jamison Olave, who had scored in the 28th minute for his club, delivered an own goal in the 83rd minute as the Portland Timbers came back from a two-goal halftime deficit to gain a 3-3 season-opening home draw with the New York Red Bulls. Diego Valeri (14') and Darlington Nagbe (56') each scored once for the Timbers while all three Red Bulls tallies came from ex-Real Salt Lake players, with Fabian Espindola scoring twice (9', 24'). This was the weekend's lone stalemate.
At Santa Clara, California:
Alvaro Soborio scored both goals (71', 85') as Real Salt Lake knocked off the San Jose Earthquakes 2-0 on the road. The Quakes were undefeated at home during the regular season last season and this defeat ended their 18-match home unbeaten run.
