Los Angeles FC's unbeaten run was ended with a shock loss to the Colorado Rapids in MLS, while the New York Red Bulls enjoyed a win on Friday.
Leaders of the Western Conference, LAFC had their 10-match unbeaten streak in all competitions come to an end with a 1-0 loss to the struggling Rapids in Denver.
The game's only goal came four minutes into the second half, former Liverpool and Rangers defender Danny Wilson heading in a Jack Price corner at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
After a delay due to lightning, Colorado closed out their win, moving off the bottom of the Western Conference, which LAFC top by six points.

Brian White tucked away a Daniel Royer cross to double the Red Bulls' lead just before the hour-mark, only for Nemanja Nikolic to pull a goal back for Chicago.
However, Royer sealed the hosts' win after a Kyle Duncan cross as the Red Bulls moved into fourth in the Eastern Conference, while Chicago are eighth.
