New York - Arab Today
New England Revolution missed out on the chance to move up to second in the MLS Eastern Conference after a 2-2 draw at the rock-bottom Montreal Impact. The visitors could have gone just one point league behind leaders DC United with victory but twice had to come from behind with former Italy striker Marco Di Vaio striking in the 12th and 39th minutes for the Canadian club.
But Kelyn Rowe struck in-between Di Vaio's brace in the 16th minute before Lee Nguyen grabbed a share of the spoils for the Revolution after 69 minutes.
New York Red Bulls are now just two points behind New England after a comfortable 3-1 win over ten-man Toronto FC. Bradley Wright-Phillips opened the scoring in the 26th minute and the Red Bulls doubled their advantage through Ruben Bover nine minutes later with Dax McCarty making it three just before half-time.
Jonathan Osorio pulled one back ten minutes after the interval but they never threatened a comeback and Toronto's woes were compounded by Nick Hagglund's 86th-minute dismissal.
Columbus Crew hit back from two goals down to move above Philadelphia Union after a thrilling 3-2 away win, with all five goals scored in a frantic final 21 minutes. Substitute Danny Cruz gave Union the lead and Andrew Wenger's strike after 75 minutes looked to have settled matters but the visitors came storming back through Ethan Finlay and Justin Meram before Jairo Arrieta completed a stunning turn around.
Chivas USA also had to come from behind as they moved off the bottom of the Western Conference with a 2-1 win over the Colorado Rapids. The visiting Rapids took the lead on the half hour through John Neeskens but Kris Tyrpak levelled matters in the 65 minute before Felix Borja's effort five minutes from time gave Chivas the win.
Ned Grabavoy and Sebastian Velasquez's first-half strikes lifted Real Salt Lake to a 2-0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes.
