San Jose Earthquakes upset Vancouver, Union beat NYCFC

Sanna Nyassi scored in the 75th minute as the San Jose Earthquakes shocked the MLS-leading Vancouver Whitecaps 1-0 on Saturday night. Vancouver blocked the first two shot attempts of the sequence, and then Nyassi smashed the left-footed strike from near the penalty spot into the left corner of the goal. It was his first career goal with the Earthquakes.

David Bingham earned his first career shutout without a save while the Quakes snapped an eight-game winless streak against the Whitecaps.

Pedro Morales and Adam Jahn both received red cards in the 88th minute for a brief altercation. Jahn went down, and Morales kicked at the ball near Jahn's midsection after the whistle. Jahn kicked back at Morales' shins in retaliation.

Vincent Nogueira scored in stoppage time and the Philadelphia Union beat New York City FC 2-1 for their first victory of the season.

NYCFC goalkeeper Josh Saunders collided with Conor Casey inside the 6-yard box defending a cross and Nogueira toe-poked it home in the 92nd minute.

Zach Pfeffer started the scoring in the 27th minute for Philadelphia. Sebastien Le Toux beat his defender, dribbled to the baseline and fed it across to Pfeffer.

David Villa tied it in the 55th minute. Four NYCFC players touched the ball at the top of the penalty box, goalkeeper John McCarthy came out to defend a shot and Villa walked the rebound into an empty net.

Lloyd Sam scored in the 90th minute and the New York Red Bulls salvaged a 2-2 draw with D.C. United.

Goalkeeper Bill Hamid blocked Sacha Kljestan's free kick, but the ball squirted away and Sam beat his defender to the loose ball for the equalizer.

Perry Kitchen gave United a 1-0 lead after heading Taylor Kemp's 26th-minute corner kick off the post and into the net.

In the 67th minute, Chris Rolfe navigated through New York's defense and found Kitchen, who took one touch and drilled a shot for a 2-0 lead. New York answered a minute later when Damien Perrinelle headed in Felipe's corner kick for his first MLS goal.

Giles Barnes opened the scoring early and the Houston Dynamo added two more goals late in the second half to beat the Montreal Impact 3-0.

Barnes headed home Brad Davis' free kick in the 15th minute, ending Houston's 274-minute scoring drought. Ricardo Clark doubled the lead for Houston in the 72nd minute and Rob Lovejoy capped the scoring in the 80th.

The Dynamo snapped a four-game winless streak despite Montreal controlling the possession for most of the game.

The winless Impact remained out of rhythm in MLS while in the middle of their historic run to the CONCACAF Champions League final.

Bobby Shuttleworth kept his third clean sheet in six games and the New England Revolution played to a 0-0 draw with the Columbus Crew.

The Revolution's Juan Agudelo drew three defenders at the corner of the 18-yard box in the 36th minute and fed an unmarked Lee Nguyen, but his close attempt was saved by goalkeeper Steve Clark. Nguyen's free kick in the 65th minute was bobbled and quickly gathered by Clark.

New England is unbeaten in four games after losing its first two. Columbus was held scoreless for the second time.

Real Salt Lake's Nick Rimando kept his third clean sheet in four games as RSL and Sporting Kansas City drew 0-0.

Rimando stayed low and got a hand on Jalil Anibaba's close-range attempt in the sixth minute. Kansas City's Krisztian Nemeth redirected a cross off the post in the 46th minute and Jacob Peterson's sliding attempt on the rebound rolled just wide.

Ike Opara was carted off the field in the 83rd minute for Kansas City with an apparent leg injury.
