Los Angeles Galaxy remain bottom of the Western Conference after losing 2-1 at Houston Dynamo.
The visitors took the lead after 10 minutes when Chad Barrett found Edson Buddle in space and the 31-year-old forward fired a fierce low drive past Tally Hall from nine yards.
Galaxy defended well and frustrated Houston in the early exchanges. However, Bruce Arena's team then conceded two goals which demonstrated exactly why they find themselves without a win in seven MLS matches.
Mike Magee put past his own goalkeeper on 38 minutes and then Andre Hainault, who was left unmarked following Brad Davis's corner, headed home just before the hour mark to give his side a second win in four games.
