WHITECAPS 2, TIMBERS 1

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Kei Kamara and Cristian Techera each scored for Vancouver, snapping a 15-match unbeaten streak for Portland.

The Timbers (10-3-8) had not dropped a league match since losing 3-2 at Orlando City on April 8. The 15-match streak was the longest in MLS this season and equaled a franchise record for Portland.

Kamara gave the Whitecaps (9-9-6) the early lead with a header off a free kick in the 14th minute.

In the 43rd minute, Techera scored from close range in his 100th MLS appearance to put the Whitecaps up 2-0.

Valeri got another chance in the 71st minute, this time scoring on a penalty kick against Stefan Marinovic for his ninth goal of the season. His free kick in the 89th minute was slapped away by Marinovic.

RAPIDS 2, EARTHQUAKES 1

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — Nana Boateng scored his first MLS goal in the 93rd minute lift Colorado past 10-man San Jose.

Boateng took Edgar Castillo's short pass and found some room in the penalty area before cutting back a shot that skipped though two defenders and outside the reach of the goalkeeper.

Shea Salinas was sent off in the 88th minute for throwing a reactive elbow that hit Dillon Serna in the face. Serna was given a yellow card for the instigating foul against Salinas.

Tommy Smith opened the scoring for Colorado (6-12-5) in the 24th minute. Magnus Eriksson converted a penalty for San Jose (3-13-7) in the 58th minute.

Sporting (11-6-6) won back-to-back road games for just the second time since 2015. LAFC (10-7-6) is winless, while scoring just four goals, in its last five after a five-game unbeaten streak.

CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Romario Ibarra scored in the 84th minute to help Minnesota finish with a 2-2 draw against Los Angeles.

Sebastian Lletget gave the Galaxy a 2-1 lead in the 73rd minute, driving diagonally into the area and hooking a shot around the goalkeeper. Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a free kick crash off the crossbar in the 80th minute that would have given LA a two-goal lead.
