MLS roundup: Trade pays off for Red Bulls

HARRISON, N.J. — The New York Red Bulls' trade for Dwayne De Rosario has already paid off, after the midfielder set up a goal in a 1-1 draw with Houston on Saturday night.

The Red Bulls acquired De Rosario from Toronto FC on Friday for Tony Tchani, Danleigh Borman and a draft pick. They hoped he could create chances for Thierry Henry and Juan Agudelo, but started off by feeding Dane Richards for a goal in the 47th minute against the Dynamo.

Cam Weaver tied it in the 50th minute when Red Bulls goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul, making his first start, ventured too far out of goal.

Weaver had just replaced Brian Ching, who hurt his ribs in a collision with Coundoul.

The Red Bulls (1-0-2) moved into second place in the Eastern Conference, a point behind Philadelphia. The Dynamo (0-1-2) remained in last place.

CHIVAS USA 1, TORONTO FC 1: At Toronto, Alan Gordon scored the equalizer against his former team, helping Toronto FC earned the draw. Alejandro Moreno scored for Chivas USA less than three minutes into the game, netting a goal from about 10 yards out after a poor clearing effort by Toronto's defense.

Chivas had a few terrific scoring chances over the minutes that followed, including a header from Justin Braun in the sixth minute that grazed the top of Stefan Frei's net. Gordon gave the red-clad BMO Field crowd of 18,568 something to cheer in the 36th minute, sending a perfectly timed header past goalkeeper Dan Kennedy.

The goal came about 10 minutes after another Gordon header went off the post. Toronto acquired him from Chivas for midfielder Nick LaBrocca in a trade last month.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY 3, VANCOUVER 3: At Vancouver, British Columbia, Brazilian striker Camillo Sanvezzo scored twice in injury time, giving Vancouver a draw. Vancouver trailed 2-0 after Teal Bunbury scored his second goal in the 58th minute, and Kei Kamara added another in the 63rd for Kansas City (1-1-1).

Atibi Harris started the comeback 10 minutes later, and Sanvezzo, making his MLS debut in place of suspended striker Eric Hassli, scored twice in extra time as the expansion Whitecaps (1-1-1) salvaged their first tie in Major League Soccer. Both teams were without their designated players. Vancouver's Hassli and Sporting KC's Omar Bravo both followed two-goal performances in season-opening victories with ejections last week.

Bunbury was booed lustily every time he touched the ball. His father, Alex, is in the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame, but Teal recently decided to play for the United States instead.
