Sweat added his first career MLS goal midway through the second half to seal the victory. Alexander Ring sent a long free kick deep into the box and Sweat sent a looping header inside the far post.

NYCFC controlled most of the game, and the hosts only managed to put one shot on target.

And Blake came up huge to deny Neagle again in stoppage time to preserve the victory.

In a bizarre moment in the second half, D.C. United's Luciano Acosta was shown a red card after getting tangled with Haris Medunjanin, but the referee then rescinded it after conferring with the Union player.

TheLA Galaxy'shome woes continued as they came out on the losing end of a 2-1 result against Western Conference leadersSporting Kansas City.

GoalkeeperClément Diop had a rough night for the hosts -- who have won just once at home this season -- beginning when he misjudged a punch onRoger Espinoza's shot from distance and allowed it to glance off his gloves and into the back of the net to give SKC an early 1-0 lead.

Ike Opara doubled the visitors' advantage before the break, getting on the end of a high ball that bounced into the LA penalty area where he pivoted and scored with a beautiful first-time overhead kick.

Trailing 2-0 in the second half, the Galaxy came out and pushed frantically for a first goal. Romain Alessandrini blazed well over the bar with a free kick in the 50th minute and nearly scored minutes later from 20 yards away with a well-hit line drive.

And LA's goal finally came in the 77th minute from a corner kick, as Jose Villarreal's powerful header forced a save from Tim Melia, with the rebound falling to David Romney, whose headed shot just crept over the goal line to make it 2-1.

The Galaxy's equalizer never came as SKC held off a sustained late second-half effort from Curt Onalfo's team to hold on for all three points on the road and hit the 30-point mark in the standings.

Danny Hoesen scored his second goal of the season and assisted on Marco Urena's second goal, lifting the San Jose Earthquakes to a 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake.

Hoesen opened the scoring in the 13th minute, off a long cross from Nick Lima. After touching the ball down, Hoesen gathered it off a defender's foot, stepped inside and unleashed a left footer into the top corner from just off the penalty spot.

Hoesen's long through ball down the right side sent Urena free and from a tight angle he rolled the ball past Nick Rimando in the 68th minute.

San Jose, which has battled injuries and call-ups to score just 16 goals in 16 games, won for just the second time in its last seven games.

Lima picked up two yellow cards in the second half and the Quakes played a man down from the 71st minute.

David Bingham made only one save in each half but was denied his seventh shutout when Jose Hernandez scored his second goal in the fourth minute of stoppage time for Salt Lake.
