The incredible start to Carlos Ruiz+s MLS career continues: The Guatemalan has now scored every one of the Los Angeles Galaxy+s first five goals. After scoring the gamewinners in the Galaxy+s first two games of the year, Ruiz headed its equalizer against Dallas in Saturday+s 1-1 tie. Jason Kreis scored the Burn+s goal on a free kick that deflected off the Los Angeles wall. … Kansas City took advantage of its man-advantage — Ronnie Ekelund+s was red-carded in the 33rd-minute for a crude and senseless midfield tackle on Diego Gutierrez — to beat defending champion San Jose, 2-0. Chris Klein and Chris Brown scored for the Wizards. … The MetroStars beat previously undefeated Colorado in Denver, 2-1, despite losing Ross Paule to a 57th-minute ejection. At the time of the red card, the Metros were ahead, 1-0, on a Brian Kamler goal. Project-40 rookie Brian Davis scored off the bench for the second week in a row to make it 2-0 before a John Spencer penalty kick put the final score at 2-1.
