MONTREAL - Patrice Bernier and Marco Di Vaio scored first-half goals and the Montreal Impact beat Toronto FC 2-1 on Saturday to improve to 3-0.

The Impact, who opened with wins in Seattle and Portland to match their total road victories last year, became the first Major League Soccer team to win three games this season.

Bernier scored 34 minutes in after Toronto's Ashtone Morgan fouled Andres Romero in the penalty area. Bernier, Montreal's MVP last season, hesitated on his penalty kick and sent Reds goalkeeper Joe Bendik diving to his right before putting the ball into an open right side. Di Vaio made it 2-0 just before the half. Davy Arnaud sent a ball forward for Di Vaio, who scooted around Bendik to score.

Robert Earnshaw scored on a penalty kick in the 68th minute for Toronto (1-2-0).

D.C. UNITED 0, RED BULLS 0, TIE

HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — Bill Hamid made eight saves for D.C. United (1-1-1), including a diving save on Brandon Barklage's shot off a corner kick in stoppage time, which came close to crossing the goal line.

New York, in its first season under coach Mike Petke, is 0-1-2 after allowing late goals at Portland and San Jose. New York outshot D.C. United 23-4, with Thierry Henry putting five of 10 attempts on goal.

EARTHQUAKES 1, CREW 1, TIE

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Justin Morrow scored in the 74th minute to pull San Jose even with Columbus.

Morrow scored for the first time since May 2, firing a rising strike from 18 yards that landed in the upper right corner. Unmarked at the left of the box, he scored off a pass from Ramiro Corrales.

The Crew (1-1-1) took the lead in the 68th minute when Brazilian defender Glauber scored his first goal in his third MLS game, converting a diving header off a corner kick by Federico Higuain.

San Jose (1-1-1) almost opened the scoring in the 61st minute, but Chris Wondolowski's shot from inside the penalty area was cleared off the goal line by defender Chad Marshall.

UNION 1, REVOLUTION 0

CHESTER, Pa. (AP) — Jack McInerney scored in the 76th minute for Philadelphia against New England in cold conditions.

McInerney also scored the winning goal in the Union's last game, a 2-1 victory Sunday at Colorado.

The Union improved to 2-1-0 and are 5-0-3 in against the Revolution in franchise history.

New England was coming off a 1-0 victory at Chicago in its opener. Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis sat out Saturday because of a groin injury and was replaced by Bobby Shuttleworth.

FIRE 0, SPORTING KANSAS CITY 0, TIE

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Chicago managed to earn its first point in three games this year despite remaining scoreless, tying Sporting Kansas City.

Chicago (0-2-1) looked poised to break its scoring drought when Dan Paladini got free in front of Sporting's goal in the 90th minute, but Jimmy Nielsen made the sliding save to preserve his first shutout of the year. Sporting (1-1-1) went scoreless on 20 shots in its home opener.
