MLS 360

Kei Kamara’s brace helped Columbus Crew beat Seattle Sounders 3-2 and end their three-match winning streak.

Wright-Phillips scored twice
in the first New York derby

Clint Dempsey’s exquisite left-foot curler cancelled out Kamara’s opener before Federico Higuain finished a fine run by firing low beyond Seattle’s Stefan Frei.

Kamara and then Dempsey added their second from close range and are now MLS’ joint leading goalscorer, but Crew ended victorious.

Bradley Wright-Phillips struck twice as New York Red Bulls beat New York City 2-1 despite playing
almost an hour with ten men after Matt Miazga’s red card and Patrick Mullins’ late strike.

Vancouver Whitecaps lead the Western Conference following a 3-0 victory against Philadelphia Union, who had Richie Marquez sent off late on.

Pedro Morales beat the offside trap for the opener before Octavio Rivero’s sixth of the season and Darren Mattocks’ thunderous late strike.

Collin headed a 90th minute equaliser

Cyle Larin and Aurelien Collin scored as Orlando City came from two behind to draw 2-2 with New England Revolution, who led through Charlie Davies and Kelyn Rowe.

Despite Jozy Altidore’s late header, Houston Dynamo won 2-1 in Toronto’s BMO Field return thanks to goals from Boniek Garcia, whose penalty was saved, and Will Bruin.

That ended Dynamo’s four-game winless streak which included Tuesday’s 1-0 loss to San Jose, where David Bingham saved Giles Barnes’ penalty three minutes after Adam Jahn’s header.

Chris Wondolowski’s early strike almost handed San Jose a second win of the week but James Riley’s last-gasp header ensured they drew 1-1 with Colorado Rapids.

Galaxy led FC Dallas through Gyasi Zardes’ header but Blas Perez’s fifth of the campaign and a curling Tesho Akindele effort saw them lose 2-1.

Nat Borchers’ and Diego Valeri struck within six second-half minutes as Portland Timbers won 2-1 against Montreal Impact, who pulled one back through Dominic Oduro.
