HOUSTON (AP):

Kenny Miller and second-half substitute Darren Mattocks scored to lead Vancouver to a 2-0 over Seattle for the first time in Major League Soccer (MLS) on Saturday.

Miller scored in the fourth minute, and then the Whitecaps relied on Brad Knighton to keep them in the game as the Sounders enjoyed numerous chances.

Jamaican international Mattocks added an insurance goal in the 80th minute for the Whitecaps, who moved above Los Angeles into fourth place in the Western Conference.

winless streak

In Texas, Houston's Ricardo Clark scored in the 59th minute as the Dynamo beat Philadelphia 1-0 on Saturday, ending its seven-game winless streak and preventing the Union going top of the MLS Eastern Conference.

Houston had not won since May 8 but the victory moved them to within a point of Philadelphia and four off the MLS East lead.

Clark also ended Houston's franchise record 388-minute scoreless streak when he headed in Jermaine Taylor's cross from the left.

In another match on Saturday, Saer Sene and Dimitry Imbongo scored to give New England Revolution a home win over San Jose Earthquakes.

New England midfielder Lee Nguyen set up both goals, creating Sene's goal in the 13th minute, a 25-yard blast from atop the penalty area, then making a pass from the right corner of the box to create Imbongo's goal, a sliding touch, in the 78th minute.

San Jose had won just once in eleven away games this season.
