MLS Review: Galaxy win Clasico, Sporting KC beaten

LA Galaxy continued their fine form in MLS on Saturday, while Sporting Kansas City suffered a shock loss.

A brace from Giovani dos Santos helped the Galaxy record a 4-2 win over the Earthquakes in San Jose.

It extended Galaxy's unbeaten run to five matches as they rose to sixth in the Western Conference.

Joao Pedro levelled for the Galaxy before Dos Santos' first, which came via the penalty spot.

A Dos Santos header – his fifth goal in four games – sealed the win for the Galaxy.

Elsewhere, Western Conference leaders Sporting KC went down 1-0 to the Colorado Rapids.

Kortne Ford's 11th-minute goal proved decisive for Colorado, who are bottom of the conference, before Sporting had Roger Espinoza sent off late.

The Seattle Sounders edged the Portland Timbers 1-0 and Minnesota United overcame Orlando City 1-0.

Lamar Neagle's penalty helped DC United to a 1-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps, who had Cristian Techera hit the post with a 96th-minute spot-kick.

The New York Red Bulls came from behind to beat the New England Revolution 2-1 and Real Salt Lake enjoyed a 1-0 win over Philadelphia Union.
