Roland Alberg led the way with four goals over two games for the Philadelphia Union, helping them defeat the Chicago Fire 4-3 on Wednesday night before falling to the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday.


KakĂ¡ scored the game-winning goal for Orlando City SC against Toronto FC, while Mauro Diaz chipped in two assists as FC Dallas defeated Real Salt Lake.


In the final game of the weekend, Diego Valeri was a terror for the Portland Timbers as he delivered a great through ball to Lucas Melano on the Timbers' first goal before finishing two penalty kicks goals as Portland beat the Houston Dynamo 3-2.
