Elliott’s 2 goals spark Union
Vancouver snaps Portland’s 15-match unbeaten streak
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Fabrice-Jean Picault scored on a penalty kick and Jack Elliott had his first career multi-goal game to help the Philadelphia Union beat the New England Revolution 3-2 on Saturday night.
Picault converted from the spot in the 76th minute, after New England’s Antonio Delamea was called for a hand ball in the area, to give Philadelphia (9-11-3) a 3-2 lead.
New England (7-8-8) is winless in its last six games.
WHITECAPS 2, TIMBERS 1: In Portland, Ore., Kei Kamara and Cristian Techera each scored for Vancouver in a 2-1 Cascadia Cup victory over the Timbers, snapping a 15-match unbeaten streak for Portland.
The Timbers (10-3-8) had not dropped a league match since losing 3-2 at Orlando City on April 8. The 15-match streak was the longest in MLS this season and equaled a franchise record for Portland.
The Whitecaps (9-9-6) were without 17-year-old midfielder Alphonso Davies because of a groin injury. Bayern Munich acquired Davies last month for a transfer fee that could, with bonuses, total an MLS record of $22 million. He’ll move to the German team after Vancouver’s season.
Diego Valeri scored on a second-half penalty kick for the Timbers, who lost at home for the first time this season.
CREW 1, DYNAMO 0: In Columbus, Ohio, Gyasi Zardes scored in the first minute of second-half stoppage time and Columbus beat Houston.
Columbus (11-7-6) has won three in a row. Houston (7-10-6) is winless in its last six matches, including four consecutive losses.
RED BULLS 1, FIRE 0: In Ridgeview, Ill.., Bradley Wright-Phillips scored and Luis Robles had his eighth shutout of the season to help New York beat Chicago.
Robles finished with two saves, including a leaping, acrobatic stop of an arcing shot by Nemanja Nikolic in the 71st minute.
Wright-Phillips opened the scoring in the 55th minute. Daniel Royer stole a pass from Chicago’s Dax McCarty at the top corner of the area and tapped it to Wright-Phillips for the finish with the outside of his right foot. He has 15 goals this season, tied with Zlatan Ibrahimovic of the Los Angeles Galaxy for second in MLS.
The Red Bulls (15-6-2) have won five of their last six games. Chicago (6-14-5) has lost seven in a row and has just one win since beating San Jose 2-1 on June 2.
RAPIDS 2, EARTHQUAKES 1: In Commerce City, Colo., Nana Boateng scored his first MLS goal in the 93rd minute to help Colorado (6-12-5) beat San Jose (3-13-7).
Boateng took a short pass from Las Cruces’ Edgar Castillo and found some room in the penalty area before cutting back a shot that skipped though two San Jose defenders and outside the reach of the goalkeeper.
REAL SALT LAKE 1, IMPACT 1: In Sandy, Utah, Jukka Raitala tied it in the 55th minute with a long-distance blast and Montreal (9-13-3) held on for a draw with Real Salt Lake (10-9-5).
Real Salt Lake’s Nick Rimando made a diving save on Alejandro Silva’s shot in the 89th minute to preserve the tie.
SPORTING KC 2, LOS ANGELES FC 0: In Los Angeles, Gerso Fernandes and Ilie Sanchez scored to help Sporting Kansas City beat Los Angeles FC.
Sporting (11-6-6) won back-to-back road games for just the second time since 2015. LAFC (10-7-6) is winless, while scoring just four goals, in its last five after a five-game unbeaten streak.
MINN. UNITED, 2, GALAXY 2: In Carson, Calif., Romario Ibarra tied it in the 84th minute to help Minnesota United finish with a draw against Los Angeles.
The Galaxy (10-8-5) have just one loss since the end of May. Minnesota United (9-13-1) snapped a two-game losing streak.
