MLS: Galaxy Blast Woeful Goats; Timbers, Caps Battle To Wild 2-2 Cascadia Cup Draw

Two games were played in Major League Soccer on Sunday.

At Carson, California:

Robbie Keane (6', 90') and Landon Donovan (23', 41'; he tied Jeff Cunningham for the all-time MLS goal-scoring lead at 134 goals) each scored twice as the Los Angeles Galaxy destroyed Chivas USA 5-0 in what was designated as a Galaxy home game (both clubs share the StubHub Center).

At Vancouver, British Columbia:

Camilo Sanvezzo scored twice during a two-minute stretch of the second half (76', 78') as the Vancouver Whitecaps salvaged a 2-2 home Cascadia Cup home draw with the Portland Timbers, whose scoring came courtesy of Darlington Nagbe (41') and Will Johnson (77', sandwiched in between the two Camilo tallies).
