MLS ROUNDUP | Sunday's games



United 2, Red Bulls 2
WASHINGTON -- D.C. United rallied with second-half goals from Alecko Eskandarian and Facundo Erpen, salvaging a tie with the new-look Red Bulls. Trailing 2-0 at halftime, Eskandarian provided a boost in his first regular season game since a concussion sidelined him for most of last season. His left-footed volley in the 56th minute cut the deficit to one, and Argentine defender Erpen tied the game in the 65th with his second career MLS goal. New York arrived with a new name, new uniforms, a new scorer, and an overhauled roster. The franchise formally known as the MetroStars quieted the United crowd by taking a 2-0 lead in the first 18 minutes.
Dynamo 5, Rapids 2
HOUSTON -- Brian Ching became only the ninth player in MLS history to score four goals, leading Houston over Colorado. A crowd of 25,462 at Robertson Stadium greeted the arrival of MLS, which moved one of the league's most successful teams, the San Jose Earthquake, to Houston. Alejandro Moreno scored the Dynamo's final goal in the 92nd minute. Kyle Beckerman and Jovan Kirovski scored for Colorado.
Chivas USA 3, Real Salt Lake 0
CARSON, Calif. -- Ante Razov scored two goals and Juan Pablo Garcia added another to lead Chivas USA. Razov, the fourth-leading scorer in MLS history, made an impact in his debut with his new team. Acquired from the MetroStars in January, Razov broke free from Real Salt Lake's defense and knocked in a shot from 15 yards out in the 21st minute. Garcia scored his goal 4 minutes later, and Razov got his second on a low, hard shot from 25 yards out that beat Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Scott Garlick in the 66th minute.
