FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - Dimirty Imbongo scored in the 53rd minute and the New England Revolution ended their winless streak at 10 matches with a 2-0 win over the Columbus Crew on Wednesday night.
Imbongo, who got a rare start after Jerry Bengtson was called up with the Honduran national team, slid one into an open net after a Diego Fagundez shot smacked the right post.
The Revolution (7-14-7) were handed an insurance goal in the 74th when Crew defender Chad Marshall inadvertently nodded it into his own net.
Matt Reis, who made a pair of acrobatic saves seconds apart from each other in the 86th, stopped a total of three shots to preserve the Revolution's first victory since July 8th.
After the offense went silent in a scoreless draw with Philadelphia on Saturday, the Revolution found their rhythm against Columbus (12-9-6).
RAPIDS 3, TIMBERS 0
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) - Andre Akpan scored in the sixth minute and Colorado escaped the Western Conference basement with a win over Portland.
Tony Cascio and Jaime Castrillon each added a goal for Colorado (9-17-2), which ended a four-game winless streak. The win leapfrogged Colorado past the Timbers and Chivas USA into seventh place in the West.
Goalkeeper Matt Pickens earned his seventh shutout.
Portland (7-14-6) had its season-best, two-game winning streak snapped while being shut out for the 11th time. The Timbers remain the only team in the league without a road win (0-10-3).
