COLUMBUS, Ohio - From the opening seconds of their 2-1 defeat to the New York Red Bulls, Columbus Crew SC didn't look like themselves.

WASHINGTON – Chris Pontius and Nick DeLeon started in the late show at blustery RFK Stadium on Saturday night, combining on an injury-time strike to stun the defending MLS Cup champions LA Galaxy 1-0.
Stretched paper-thin by injuries, United faced a tall order against a side they haven’t beaten in over six years. But LA were missing some pieces of their own: Robbie Keane missed the match to take part in Ireland’s European Cup qualifier against Poland, while Gyasi Zardes remains with the US national team ahead of their friendly with Switzerland.

Even though Kinnear’s halftime roll of the dice -- bringing on Adam Jahn and Shea Salinas for JJ Koval and Sanna Nyassi -- failed to stave off a 2-1 defeat, it gave the Quakes a renewed sense of purpose after falling behind by a pair of Kelyn Rowe goals inside 37 minutes.
