COLUMBUS, Ohio — Michael Stephens scored his first career goal and Los Angeles extended its shutout streak to 456 minutes in a 2-0 victory over the Columbus Crew on Saturday, leaving the Galaxy as the only unbeaten team in Major League Soccer.
It was the latest two unbeaten teams have met in MLS history. In 2000, Los Angeles and Kansas City had not lost when they met in the eighth game and played to a scoreless draw.
The Galaxy (9-0-2) have allowed two goals overall and none while going 5-0-1 on the road. They haven't lost in 14 regular-season games (11-0-3) since September, while the Crew (6-1-2) saw its four-game home winning streak snapped.
DC UNITED 3, CHIVAS USA 2: At Washington, Carey Talley scored on a stoppage time penalty kick past defender-turned-goalkeeper Dario Delgado to lift D.C. United, after goaltender Zach Thornton was sent off for his challenge on D.C.'s Santino Quaranta in front of the goal.
Adam Cristman added his first goal of the season and 17-year-old Andy Najar got the first goal of his MLS career as United (2-8-0) scored three goals for the first time this season.
Justin Braun and Maykel Galindo scored for Chivas USA (3-7-1), which has lost four straight.
REVOLUTION 3, RED BULLS 2: At Foxboro, Mass., Zach Schilawski's fifth goal of the season, a header on a cross from Shalrie Joseph, gave the Revolution a victory over the short-handed Red Bulls.
New York was forced to play much of the second half without defender Carlos Mendes and midfielder Roy Miller, who were sent off with red cards. Mendes earned his in the 56th minute for a flagrant trip of Marko Perovic, and Miller in the 75th minute for a foul on Zak Boggs.
New England's victory snapped a seven-match (0-5-2) winless streak, during which the Revolution (3-6-2) managed only four goals. They are 8-0-6 in their last 14 against New York.
New York (5-5) suffered its fourth straight loss, allowing 11 goals over that span.
TORONTO FC 3, EARTHQUAKES 1: At Santa Clara, Calif., Dwayne De Rosario scored two second-half goals to help Toronto FC stretch its unbeaten streak to four games with a 3-1 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night.
De Rosario scored for Toronto (5-4-1) in the 66th minute, then sealed the victory with a shot into an empty net in the final minute. De Rosario has eight goals this season, second in Major League Soccer behind Edson Buddle of Los Angeles.
