DC United ended a seven-year wait for an MLS victory over LA Galaxy, as Chris Pontius’ stoppage time header earned a 1-0 victory.

Rowe scored his second MLS brace

The Galaxy had 17 shots but without last season’s MVP Robbie Keane and Gyasi Zardes, both on international duty, they could not pierce DC’s defence.

New England Revolution picked up their first win, 2-1 over San Jose Earthquakes, thanks to Kelyn Rowe’s second MLS brace.

New York Red Bulls moved top of the Eastern Conference as Mike Grella scored the club’s 1,000^th MLS goal in a 2-1 win over Columbus Crew.

Debutant Robbie Earnshaw came off the bench to score a last-minute winner for Vancouver Whitecaps, who beat Portland Timbers 2-1.

Nicolas Mezquida’s 25-yard free kick put Vancouver ahead but Fanendo Adi’s third of the season looked to have earned the Timbers a point until Earnshaw’s last-gasp winner.

Real Salt Lake earned their first win, and remain unbeaten, beating Toronto FC 2-1 courtesy of Jordan Allen’s first MLS goal.

Kaka has two goals so far

With two minutes remaining Toronto’s Jackson toe-poked home to cancel out Luke Mulholland’s first-half header, but Allen struck less than a minute later to ensure victory.

Orlando City scored twice in two minutes, through Kaka and Pedro Ribeiro, to cancel out Ignacio Piatti’s penalty and Jack McInerney’s first goal of the season and claim a point at Montreal Impact.
