Commerce City, Colo. • Marvin Chavez scored two goals against his former team and Chivas USA ended an eight-game winless streak with a 3-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids on Sunday.
Erick Torres opened the scoring with his eighth goal of the season in the 56th minute for Chivas, which had gone 0-5-3 since beating the Chicago Fire in its season opener.
Torres' header beat goalkeeper Clint Irwin after Chivas didn't put a shot on goal in the first half. Chavez, who made two appearances for Colorado last season, broke free on a breakaway to beat Irwin in the 67th minute and again off a cross in the 76th minute.
Galaxy 1, Timbers 1 • In Portland, Ore., the Timbers' Diego Valeri scored in the final minute of stoppage time, shortly after the Galaxy's Robbie Keane's header two minutes into stoppage time appeared to give the Galaxy the win.
