Shuttleworth made several saves for New England (9-12-3) to keep Chivas USA (6-12-6) scoreless for a fifth consecutive match. Felix Borja's turnaround shot in the 18th minute forced a diving save.

GALAXY 2, WHITECAPS 0

CARSON, Calif. (AP) - Landon Donovan and Marcelo Sarvas scored to give Los Angeles a victory over Vancouver.

Los Angeles (11-5-7) held Vancouver (7-5-12) scoreless in two of its three matchups this season.

Donovan started the scoring in the fourth minute. Robbie Keane's wide attempt fell to the far post and Donovan redirected it home. Los Angeles had conceded the first goal in its past four matches.

Keane's second assist came in the 32nd minute. He whiffed on a shot, but his plant foot pushed the ball forward and Marcelo Sarvas rolled it under Vancouver goalkeeper David Ousted. Keane is tied with New York's Thierry Henry for the MLS lead with 11 assists.

TORONTO FC 2, FIRE 2

TORONTO (AP) - Toronto FC settled for a 2-2 draw with Chicago. Gilberto gave Toronto a 2-1 lead in the 78th minute, but the home side was unable to hold on as Quincy Amarikwa tied it at 2-2 in the 90th minute.

A Fire own goal in the first half accounted for Toronto's other goal while former TFC forward Robert Earnshaw had the lone goal for Chicago (4-6-14).

TFC (9-8-6) forward Luke Moore sprung Gilberto, who stepped around Chicago goalkeeper Sean Johnson before scoring his fourth goal of the season.

However, Amarikwa put a cross from Lovel Palmer past a diving Joe Bendik in the final minute to earn the draw.
