The Los Angeles Galaxy saw their lead at the top of MLS Western Conference cut to a single point as they were held to a 1-1 draw by the New York Red Bulls. Thierry Henry gave the visitors a fourth minute lead but Landon Donovan replied for Galaxy four minutes before the interval.

Real Salt Lake closed the gap with a 1-0 victory over Chivas USA, who saw both Andrew Boyens and Marcos Mondaini sent off in the first half. The home side were unable to make their numerical advantage count until three minutes from time, though, when Will Johnson struck the winner.
