MLS Review: Red Bulls win seven-goal thriller, Zardes inspires Galaxy

Felipe Martins scored twice as New York Red Bulls twice came from behind to prevail 4-3 at home to Houston Dynamo for their first win of the MLS season.

After back-to-back defeats to start the campaign, Sacha Kljestan opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, but Red Bulls fell 2-1 behind at half-time following Will Bruin's quick-fire brace on Saturday.

LA Galaxy were also victorious, ending San Jose Earthquakes' perfect start to the season following a 3-1 win.

Defending champions Portland Timbers escaped with a share of the spoils and a 2-2 draw at home to nine-man Real Salt Lake thanks to Fanendo Adi's late brace.
