Los Angeles Galaxy's Robbie Keane converted a penalty and set up two other goals in a 5-0 victory over Portland 5-0 on Wednesday in the MLS.
Galaxy scored five goals for the second game running against Portland, who were on a four-game winning streak but went behind to Sebastian Lletget’s 13th-minute strike.
Keane converted from the spot early on before setting up Robbie Rogers who scored his first MLS goal since 2011.
Juninho scored off another Keane assist while Jose Villarreal added the final goal in the 87th minute. Portland ended with 10 men after Liam Ridgewell's red card.
Conor Doyle scored in DC United's 1-0 victory at Chicago. He pounced on a rebound off a defender and fired home from outside the box as United extended their lead in the Eastern Conference to 10 points over New England.
Philadelphia's CJ Sapong scored his fifth goal in six games with a header to secure a 1-0 win over Seattle.
Philadelphia had a goal disallowed for a foul on the goalkeeper and soon after Maurice Edu's penalty was blocked by Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei.
Columbus' Kei Kamara boosted his lead in the scoring charts with two goals to beat New England 2-1, ending a six-game winless streak.
New England's Lee Nguyen scored after just 35 seconds, drilling in a shot from the top of the 18-yard box but the Crew equalised in the fourth minute when a header hit the crossbar and bounced to Kamara who fired into the back of the net.
Kamara scored the winner with a backheel just after half-time for his 12th goal of the season.
New York's Mike Grella scored in the fourth minute and the Red Bulls beat nine-man Real Salt Lake 1-0 to end a run of four successive defeats.
Real Salt Lake lost two players to straight red cards in a 15-minute period. Captain Javier Morales was sent off in the 40th minute and defender Demar Phillips saw red a quarter of an hour later for a high tackle on Connor Lake.
Toronto's Michael Bradley, Sebastian Giovinco and Jozy Altidore all scored in a 3-1 victory over Canadian rivals Montreal.
Ambroise Oyongo opened the scoring for the Impact, but Bradley equalized from a Giovinco cross. Altidore made it 2-1 in the 56th and Giovinco converted a late penalty to seal it.
Orlando City's Cyle Larin and Kaka scored second-half goals to beat Colorado 2-0 in the teams' first MLS meeting.
