Possibly the biggest storyline from Saturday's games was the Portland Timbers going into Sporting Park and leaving with a 3-2 win. Toronto FC thought they secured a point after a late game-tying goal from Jonathan Osorio, but Tim Cahill netted his second of the match in the 90th minute to earn three points for the visiting side. The Columbus Crew, Montreal Impact, New England Revolution and LA Galaxy all earned clean sheets in impressive fashion and Vancouver scored two second-half goals to tie things up with a 10-man FC Dallas squad, after Jackson was ejected for a violent elbow on Alain Rochat.
