MLS Week 27: Results & Standings

• by Soccer America , Sep 8, 2016

Orlando City moved into the top six in MLS's Eastern Conference, two points ahead of D.C. United, with a 4-1 win at Montreal thanks to two goals from Kaka and a goal and two assists from Carlos Rivas.

The LA Galaxy got two goals and an assist from Giovani dos Santos but blew a 3-1 lead. Keeper Brian Rowe let a Jose Manuel Martinez shot slip through his hands on the last kick if stoppage time for a 3-3 tie that did neither team any good in its bid to catch Western Conference leader FC Dallas.
