• WASHINGTON -- Dwayne De Rosario scored in the first half, and Hamdi Salihi added his first goal at RFK Stadium in the second to help D.C. United beat the Colorado Rapids 2-0 on Wednesday night. United (6-4-3) is undefeated in six home games after opening the season with a 1-0 loss to Kansas City. Matt Pickens made eight saves for the Rapids (5-6-0). They went 1-2 on a three-game trip. The Rapids, shut out for the third time this season, are 1-8-5 in Washington since 2000. Salihi, signed as a designated player from Austrian club Rapid Vienna this winter, scored twice in Uniteds recent three-game trip. After twice forcing saves from Pickens on close-range headers, Salihi got his first home goal in the 60th minute, sweeping in the rebound of Branko Boskovics header. De Rosario put United ahead in the 25th minute when he reached Lewis Neals diagonal ball after Neal turned a midfield giveaway into a counterattack. It was Neals first assist of the season, in just his second start. Two minutes later, Pickens made two impressive saves to keep Colorado in it, pushing over De Rosarios deflected shot before thwarting Robbie Russels header off Boskovics corner. Pickens also denied Salihis goal-bound effort, also from Boskovics corner kick, 2 minutes into the second half. Bill Hamid needed just two saves to preserve Uniteds fourth shutout of the season. United will play twice more at home during the next 10 days, then wont return until a June 30 game against Montreal. The Rapids will play five of their next six games at home.

SEATTLE -- Brad Evans scored twice, including the go-ahead goal, to lead the Seattle Sounders to a 3-1 victory over FC Dallas on Sunday night. The Sounders (15-7-11, 56 points), who already have clinched their fourth straight MLS playoff berth, climbed into a second-place tie with Real Salt Lake in the Western Conference. Both teams have one game remaining. "This was obviously one of the most important games of the year so far. We make a statement tonight, we carry this to next Sunday (in the regular-season finale at Los Angeles, and we give ourselves a chance going into the playoffs," Evans said. The loss eliminated FC Dallas (9-13-11, 38 points) from playoff contention, securing the fifth and final spot in the West for Vancouver. The Sounders did not have head coach Sigi Schmid on the sidelines. He was serving a one-game suspension after making comments critical of the officiating following Wednesdays 0-0 tie with Salt Lake in Seattle. Lead assistant coach Brian Schmetzer ran the team in Schmids absence. Seattles Fredy Montero started the play that led to Evans tie-breaking goal early in the 60th minute. Montero took a quick throw-in down the left sideline. The ball went to Christian Tiffert, who brought it into the left side of the penalty area. He crossed it to Evans, and, from just to the right of the penalty spot, Evans beat Dallas keeper Kevin Hartman to the back left corrner for his fourth goal of the year.dddddddddddd. The penalty kick was Seattles first since March 23, when Evans also converted in a 2-0 victory against Houston. "It was bound to happen," Evans said. "Some teams get em all, some teams dont. Fredy made a good touch and baited the guy and got the PK." Evans gave the Sounders a 1-0 lead with a penalty kick early in the 32nd minute. Mauro Rosales tallied in the 79th minute for Seattle, his third goal of the season. Blas Perez scored his team-leading ninth goal of the year for Dallas. Its playoff hopes dashed, FC Dallas will wind up the season next Saturday at home against Chivas USA. "Well, its not just this game, its the whole season," said coach Schellas Hyndman, whose team still had a chance to stay alive after Vancouver dropped a 1-0 decision to Portland earlier on Sunday. "For what we have on our team, not just with the injuries and suspensions, but the things we could have done a little better at I dont know how much more I could get out of them. We had Seattle twice at home, and both games, we think we outplayed them and found a way not to win. It has been a whole-season thing." Sundays crowd of 38,755 fans at CenturyLink Field helped the Sounders break their own MLS single-season record for average attendance. Seattle averaged 43,144, beating its old mark of 38.498 from 2011. ' ' '
