CARSON, Calif. (AP) - Alan Gordon scored on a header in stoppage time to give the L.A. Galaxy a 1-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo 1-0 on Friday night, ending a five-game winless streak.
Gordon's soft touch with the header caught goalkeeper Tyler Deric flat-footed 90 seconds into stoppage time. The perfect feed came from Robbie Keane.
The Galaxy (4-4-5) had the better of possession much of the first half, but Houston (4-5-4) was awarded a free kick just outside of the box in the 43rd minute. On a designed set piece, the ball ended up with Mika Vayrynen alone at the top of the box, but his left-footed attempt sailed just high.
Keane came on as a sub for L.A. early in the second and made an immediate impact. He found Gyaso Zardes for a point-blank attempt, but Deric was able to snuff it.
Gordon came on for the Galaxy in the 68th minute and, on his first touch, had a quality opportunity in close off Stefan Ishizaki's precision cross. But Houston defender David Horst went to the ground to block the shot.
FIRE 2, CREW 2, TIE
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Jason Johnson scored in the 94th minute to pull Chicago even with Columbus.
In the 94th minute, Eric Gehrig sent a cross into the box, where Johnson was able to head it past Steve Clark.
The Fire (3-5-2) have played to draws in their past two matches and are winless in four straight.
Kei Kamara struck for Columbus (4-4-3) in the eighth minute, tapping home Ethan Finlay's pass at the top of the 6-yard box for his eighth goal of the season. Kamara scored again in the 55th minute, on a header of a feed from Kevan George.
David Accam halved the lead just 3 minutes later, heading in a cross from short range by Kennedy Igboananike.
