Entering the weekend, there were just two winless teams remaining in MLS. And while one was finally led to three points by their superstars, the other continued to be exposed as an MLS legend's hot seat gets even hotter.
The LA Galaxy finally fought their way to their first victory on what was their eighth attempt, with the club's biggest names stepping up to lead the way.
Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez and Riqui Puig put in performances worthy of their reputation, offering a glimmer of hope that the Galaxy could just play their way out of this disastrous start to the season.
There's no such hope in Kansas City, though, as Sporting KC continue to be abysmal, to put it kindly. Nine games, just three goals and, most importantly, zero wins; it's quickly going from bad to worse for Peter Vermes and co.
With that said, here's a look at this weekend's winners and losers from across MLS:
