Fire fall at home as streak ends

-

Nicolas Hasler scored his first goal of the season off a header to give Toronto FC the lead for good in a 3-1 victory over Chicago on Saturday night that ended the Fire's 11-game home unbeaten streak.

MLS-leading Toronto is undefeated in seven games. Chicago has lost three straight and has just one win in its last seven.

Hasler broke a tie in the 63rd minute, and Sebastian Giovinco capped the scoring in the 90th with his 12th goal of the season.

David Accam tied at 1 for Chicago off a rebound in the 54th.

Marco Delgado opened the scoring for Toronto in the 14th. Delgado punched in short kick ball after goalkeeper Matt Lampson failed to gather a save on Hasler's shot from the center of the box.

Ignacio Piatti scored twice for the second straight game as host Montreal grabbed its fourth victory in a row.

Piatti has 14 goals this season, scoring in four consecutiv­e games.

Anthony JacksonHam­el also scored for Montreal.

Luis Silva scored for Real Salt Lake, ending Evan Bush's shutout streak at 284 minutes.

Following 3-0 victories over Philadelph­ia and Chicago, the Impact have scored three goals in a franchise-record three consecutiv­e games. Montreal also has won seven of its last eight home games.

Piatti opened the scoring in the 11th minute off a 2-on-1 with Blerim Dzemaili. Piatti struck again in the 29th, just three minutes after Real Salt Lake tied it. Piatti danced his way around defender Tony Beltran's slide tackle in the box and fired a left-footed shot into the far corner from a difficult angle. Diego Rubio scored on a blast off Graham Zusi's corner kick in the 42nd as host Sporting Kansas City beat FC Dallas to move back atop the Western Conference standings.

Playing in front of its 100th straight sellout, Sporting KC extended its home unbeaten streak to 22 to match the fourthlong­est home run in MLS history.

In stoppage time, Zusi also set up Gerso Fernandes’ goal that sealed it. Fernandes took a long pass from Zusi down the right side, juked a defender and rifled a left-footed shot.

Sporting KC hasn't lost to Dallas since the beginning of the 2012 season.

Fredy Montero and Yordy Reyna scored in the first half to help host Vancouver beat Houston.

Montero scored on a penalty kick in the 17th minute after Reyna was brought down by Boniek Garcia. Montero sent goalkeeper Tyler Deric the wrong way with a shot that touched the right post for his 10th goal of the season.

Montero then turned provider for Reyna, who grabbed the ball outside the Dynamo box and curled a right-foot effort from 20 yards out that a leaping Deric could only watch fly into the top corner 15 minutes later.

Chris Wondolowsk­i scored on a penalty kick in stoppage time to give host San Jose the tie with Philadelph­ia.

D.C. United took advantage of Jared Watts' own goal to beat host Colorado. The loss spoiled interim head coach Steve Cooke's debut in place of the fired Pablo Mastroeni.
