MLS Review: Sporting close in on Dallas, Timbers win
Sporting Kansas City closed the gap to Western Conference leaders Dallas, while the Portland Timbers claimed an important MLS win on Saturday.
A Felipe Gutierrez goal was enough to see Sporting to a 1-0 victory over Orlando City in Kansas.
Gutierrez produced a fine low finish from 20 yards in the 53rd minute for the only goal of the game.
The result moved Peter Vermes' Sporting up into second and to within a point of conference leaders Dallas.
What a way to make your comeback, Felipe Gutiérrez! #SKCvORL https://t.co/qAyzg0L8DN

The Timbers are on track to feature in the play-offs after a 2-0 win over the Colorado Rapids.
Jeremy Ebobisse and Diego Valeri scored either side of half-time to move the Timbers four points clear of the seventh-placed Vancouver Whitecaps in the Western Conference.
Count 'em.
That's 10 goals and 10 assists on the season for @DiegoDv8! #PORvCOL https://t.co/IrP6dHH3Wt
