MLS roundup: Perovic's goal allows Revolution to earn tie

CHESTER, Pa. — Marko Perovic scored an unassisted goal from about 30 yards out in the 71st minute Saturday, allowing the New England Revolution to salvage a 1-1 draw with the Philadelphia Union.

Perovic's long shot appeared to take an awkward bounce past Union goalkeeper Chris Seitz, giving him four goals on the season and extending the Revolution's unbeaten streak to five.

The Revolution (4-9-3) have been terrible on the road, going 1-6-1, but their current winning streak has given them a lift. It includes two league matches and three wins in SuperLiga action.

Sebastien Le Toux scored his team-best eighth goal of the season for Philadelphia (4-8-3) in the 25th minute.

FC DALLAS 1, RAPIDS 1: At Commerce CITY, Colo., FC Dallas extended its unbeaten streak to eight games (4-0-4). Colorado defender Julien Baudet put the ball into his own net in the 22nd minute to keep FC Dallas unbeaten since losing to Los Angeles on May 20. FC Dallas maintained its three-point lead over the Rapids for third place in the Western Conference.

RED BULLS 2, DYNAMO 2: At Houston, Thierry Henry had a pair of assists in his Major League Soccer debut, setting up Juan Pablo Angel for two goals for the New York Red Bulls. The former Barcelona and Arsenal star passed to Angel for goals in the 10th and 58th minutes, twice putting New York ahead in his first competitive match since France's first-round World Cup exit in June. However, Brian Mullan scored in the 90th minute to lift the Dynamo (5-8-5) to their fourth tie in five matches. Brad Davis also scored for Houston, which is winless since May 22.

WIZARDS 1, TORONTO FC 0: At Kansas City, Kan., Teal Bunbury took advantage of a defensive miscue and scored in the 61st minute. The win gave Kansas City (5-8-4) its first three-match unbeaten streak of the year. Toronto (6-6-5) fell to 1-6-1 in road games. The Wizards, who were coming off a 2-1 exhibition victory over Manchester United last Sunday, were slow to get their offense untracked against Toronto with only one shot on goal in the first half. But in the 61st minute, Bunbury tracked down a botched back pass by Adrian Cann and struck a line-drive header from the edge of the penalty area. Keeper Stefan Frei got a hand on the ball the ball, but the high deflection glanced off the bottom of the crossbar and into the goal.

SOUNDERS 1, EARTHQUAKES 0: At Santa Clara, Calif., Fredy Montero continued his hot streak for Seattle, scoring in the 26th minute and leading the Sounders to their third consecutive victory. Montero has now scored or assisted on the Sounders' last eight goals and 12 of their last 15. Seattle (7-8-4) moved past both San Jose and Colorado into fourth place in the Western Conference.

CHIVAS USA 3, CREW 1: At Carson, Calif.,
