A late goal from Josef Martinez salvaged a point for the San Jose Earthquakes, who drew visiting FC Dallas 2-2 on Wednesday night.

Martinez’s goal, scored almost immediately after Petar Musa put Dallas ahead in the 85th minute, sent the Quakes (7-8-8, 29 points) to a third draw in their last four matches (0-1-3).

Dallas (5-10-7, 22 points) saw its four-match losing streak come to an end, though its winless streak reached five matches (0-4-1). It has won just once in its last 12 outings (1-7-4).

Martinez pulled San Jose level in the 86th minute, as he met Jack Shakan’s left-footed cross with a perfect header past FC Dallas goalkeeper Maarten Paes. It was Martinez’s ninth goal of the season and first since scoring against Dallas on June 25.

Martinez’s equalizer cancelled out what would have been a match-winner for Musa in the 85th minute, as he had a simple tap-in of a backheel pass from Ramiro that made it 2-1 Dallas.

It was the second of two goals on the night for Musa, his first coming in the third minute of first-half stoppage time. He now has nine goals and six in his past eight matches.

Ian Harkes opened the scoring in the 21st minute, as a well-taken effort from just beyond the top of the box made it 1-0 Quakes.

But Musa made it 1-1 in first-half stoppage time, creating space for himself to find the back of the net after teammate Patrickson Delgado’s attempted chipped ball hit the crossbar.

Musa completed his brace in the 85th minute to break a 1-1 deadlock, but Martinez’s goal just seconds later meant both teams would walk off the pitch with a point apiece.

It also moved San Jose’s home record to 3-3-6 on the season. Dallas moved to 4-3-5 on the road.

The Quakes were also forced into a first-half substitution, as defender Vitor Costa was stretchered off in the 34th minute after suffering an apparent lower left leg injury.

Theo Corbeanu scored on a first-half penalty kick and Sean Johnson recorded his 108th career shutout to help Toronto FC record a stunning 1-0 victory over host San Diego FC on Wednesday night.

Corbeanu’s 20th-minute goal held up as Toronto FC (5-11-6, 21 points) shut down the San Diego FC’s vaunted offense. The Reds improved to 3-0-2 against Western Conference foes this season.

Johnson needed to make just one save for his sixth shutout of the season. His career count ranks fourth in MLS history.

San Diego FC (13-7-3, 42 points) remain in first place in the West despite the sluggish setback.

Toronto cautiously protected its late one-goal lead just four nights after allowing Atlanta United to score in the 11th minute of second-half stoppage time for a disappointing 1-1 tie.

Pablo Sisniega made one save for FC San Diego, who fell to 6-3-3 at home.

San Diego controlled the ball for two-thirds of the match and outshot Toronto 7-4, with all its shots coming in the second half. The Reds put two on target to San Diego’s one.

High-powered San Diego FC holds the MLS lead with 46 goals.

But the club didn’t take a single shot in the first half and didn’t place a shot on target until the 71st minute when Chucky Lozano’s right-footed shot was stopped by Johnson.

This was San Diego FC’s first match since losing high-scoring Milan Iloski earlier this week. Iloski’s loan was mutually terminated Tuesday when the two sides couldn’t agree to contractual teams. Iloski’s 10 goals were second-most on the team.

Perhaps another reason for the slow offensive effort is that Lozano, one of three All-Stars on the squad, didn’t enter the match until the 60th minute.

Lozano had a close-range opportunity in the 86th minute, but his left-footed shot was blocked by Toronto defender Alonso Coello. The Reds then prevented any late-match drama while improving to 2-4-2 over their past eight matches.

Corbeanu fell in the box when he was kicked in the right knee by San Diego’s Franco Negri in the 17th minute.

No foul was called at the time, but replay officials signaled for a review and it was determined Corbeanu was fouled.

He stood at the spot in the 20th minute and delivered a right-footed boot into the top right corner of the net for his team-leading fifth goal of the season.

Diogo Goncalves scored in the 83rd minute to lift Real Salt Lake to a 1-0 victory over the host Portland Timbers on Wednesday night.

Goncalves’ third goal of the season and second in the last three matches helped Salt Lake (8-10-4, 28 points) win its third straight and extend its unbeaten run to five matches.

Rafael Cabral needed to make just one save to keep his and RSL’s sixth clean sheet of the campaign while dealing the Timbers their first home loss since a 4-1 defeat to the Vancouver Whitecaps on opening weekend in late February.

Portland (9-7-6, 33 points) struggled to create chances on a night when team assists leader David Da Costa was a pregame scratch due to groin tightness.

The Timbers came into Wednesday’s fixture having already lost 2024 leading scorer Jonathan Rodriguez to a season-ending knee surgery, and with 2025 top producer Antony still out with a hamstring issue.

Despite three stops from Maxime Crepeau, the Timbers have now lost three of their last four, and they suffered their first home defeat to RSL since 2017.

While chances were sparse throughout the encounter, Salt Lake had the better ones and deserved their lead when Goncalves finally broke through.

The Portuguese attacker helped create the chance himself, playing a pass to Ariath Piol just above the top of the penalty box from the right, then continuing his run into the penalty area to receive the return pass.

From there, he drove a low, hard finish past Crepeau just two games after he scored at home in RSL’s 3-2 win over St. Louis City on July 5.

It was the culmination of a string of RSL chances. William Agada had the best one in the first half in the 23rd minute, and probably should’ve tested Crepeau more severely with another chance two minutes into the second.

Then, in the 76th minute, Goncalves’ previous low effort forced Crepeau into his best stop of the night, diving low and to his left. Diego Luna knocked in the rebound but was clearly offside.

Myrto Uzuni and Owen Wolff scored goals and Austin FC held on late for a 2-1 win over the LA Galaxy on Wednesday in a Western Conference match in Carson, Calif.

The Verde (8-8-6, 30 points), which entered the match having not scored in its past two MLS games and with a league-low 15 goals for the season, took advantage of LA’s porous defense to post the win and sweep the season series between the sides. Austin is 3-1-1 over its last five MLS matches.

Los Angeles (3-14-6, 15 points), the defending MLS champion, came into the match with victories in consecutive matches for the first time this season and three wins in a row at home. The Galaxy began the season 0-12-4 — the worst start in league history — and has surrendered a league-high 45 goals.

Wolff produced the match’s first shot on goal, forcing a save from LA keeper Novak Micovic in the 16th minute.

Uzuni, the Albanian national who was signed by Austin in January on a team-record transfer fee from Granada in Spain’s LaLiga 2, got the Verde on the scoreboard in the 40th minute. He took a pass from Diego Rubio deep into the box and steadied the ball to his left foot before beating Micovic low to the left corner of the net. Brendan Hines-Ike also got an assist for the pass that started the scoring play.

It was Uzuni’s second goal of the season and snapped Austin FC’s 219-minute span without finding the net.

Wolff added a key insurance tally in the 63rd minute after a breakdown by the Galaxy inside the penalty area. A bounding ball was misplayed by two LA players and skidded to Uzuni, who pulled Micovic off his goal line with a weak shot. But the ball ended up at the feet of Wolff, who showed patience in switching to his left foot before calmly kicking the ball into the open net.

The Galaxy’s Joseph Paintsil drew a foul at the edge of the area from Mikkel Desler two minutes into second-half stoppage time and calmly beat Austin goalkeeper Brad Stuver on the ensuing kick from the spot to draw LA to within a goal. But that’s as close as it would get.

Darren Yapi scored the tying goal less than a minute after coming off the bench as the Colorado Rapids fought back from a three-goal deficit to earn a 3-3 draw against the host Seattle Sounders on Wednesday night.

Djordje Mihailovic and Cole Bassett converted penalty kicks three minutes apart early in the second half for the Rapids (8-10-6, 30 points). Goalkeeper Zack Steffen made five saves.

Albert Rusnak had two goals and an assist for the Sounders (9-6-7, 34 points). Obed Vargas, a 19-year-old who was named to the MLS All-Star Team earlier this week, also tallied, and goalie Andrew Thomas, playing for the injured Stefan Frei (concussion), made six stops.

It was the second consecutive match the Sounders conceded two second-half penalties after building a 3-0 lead. They held on for a 3-2 victory Saturday at Sporting Kansas City.

Yapi tied it in the 75th minute, taking a pass from Mihailovic just outside the top of the penalty area and dribbling past two defenders before putting a 12-yard shot into the lower left corner of the net.

Colorado’s comeback began in the 50th minute after Rafael Navarro was tripped up by Cristian Roldan near the left edge of the penalty area. Mihailovic converted the spot kick.

A minute later, Navarro was again tripped up, this time by Thomas as they went after a loose ball. After a video review confirmed the call, Bassett converted the penalty kick in the 53rd minute.

Vargas opened the scoring in the 16th minute, taking a pass from Rusnak at the top of the 18-yard box and taking a shot that deflected off defender Andreas Maxso and trickled into the right corner of the net.

Rusnak made it 2-0 in the 43rd minute following a gaffe by Steffen. The goalie left the penalty area to track down a loose ball in the left-wing corner. Steffen’s clearance reached midfield, where Seattle defender Jackson Regan headed it to Rusnak, who was about 35 yards away from net. Rusnak spun and, realizing Steffen was still out of the goal crease, lobbed a shot into the net.

Rusnak tallied again in the 47th minute, taking a pass from Danny Musovski and curling a 20-yard shot into the lower left corner of the net, just out of the reach of Steffen.
