Lee Nguyen's successfully-converted penalty kick in the 83rd minute proved to be the game winner as the New England Revolution came from behind to defeat visiting DC United 2-1.

At Houston:

Giles Barnes (39', 54') and Oscar Boniek Garcia (79', 90'+1) each scored twice as the Houston Dynamo delivered a 5-1 home fist-beating to Chivas USA.
