MLS Review: Dempsey lifts Sounders to first win, RSL remain undefeated

Seattle Sounders won for the first time this season after overcoming slumping Montreal Impact 1-0 on Saturday.

The Sounders opened the MLS season with three defeats but that forgettable run finally came to an end thanks to star forward Clint Dempsey and his 79th-minute header on Saturday.

After scoring in the United States' 4-0 rout of Guatemala in the mid-week CONCACAF World Cup qualifier, Dempsey was at it again as he nodded home Andreas Ivanschitz's corner.

Real Salt Lake's undefeated start to the season continued courtesy of a 2-1 win at Sporting Kansas City.

In other results, last season's MLS Cup runners-up Columbus Crew are still waiting for their first win after being held to a 1-1 draw by FC Dallas.

Justin Meram's ninth-minute goal had the Crew on track until Tesho Akindele equalised with 13 minutes remaining.
