Espinoza, Earthquakes beat Timbers 3-0

WASHINGTON (AP) — Diego Rossi scored three times for his first career MLS hat trick, and Los Angeles FC snapped D.C. United's 15-game regular-season unbeaten streak with a 4-0 win on Saturday.

Carlos Vela scored his MLS-leading seventh goal of the season in the 15th minute, ripping a left footer from the top of the box to give LAFC (5-0-1) the lead.

Rossi, from near midfield, played a ball wide to Vela on the left side and then sprinted into the area where he slipped a left-footer inside the near post in the 27th. Rossi first-timed a bending side-netter about five minutes later to make it 3-0 at halftime and capped the scoring in the 76th minute.

Vela and Rossi have more goals (13) this season than any other MLS team.

LAFC has won three in a row and has outscored its opponents 19-5 this season.

D.C. United (3-1-1) played a man down after Wayne Rooney, who came in among the MLS leaders this season in goals (four) and assists (three), was shown a straight red card in the 52nd for a dangerous tackle on Rossi.

It was United's worst loss since a 4-0 decision against the Portland Timbers on Oct. 15, 2017.

SOUNDERS 1, REAL SALT LAKE 0

SEATTLE (AP) — Nicolas Lodeiro scored in the 18th minute, and Seattle extended its club-record start.

The Sounders (4-0-1) almost grabbed the lead when Brad Smith's cross to Will Bruin was barely out of his reach at the right post. But the ball stayed in play, and Cristian Roldan gained control on the right side of the penalty area.

Roldan floated a high cross toward the left side, just over the head of Salt Lake defender Marco Silva. It landed at Lodeiro's feet, and he tucked it into the left corner past goalkeeper Nick Rimando.

Until this year, Seattle had never been unbeaten through its first five games. The team's previous best record through five was 3-2-0 during its inaugural 2009 season.

Stefan Frei collected his second straight shutout and third of the season.
