The first place Galaxy sure didn't play like they were in first place Wednesday night, as the Timbers gave LA their first loss in 14 games.

Darlington Nagbe found Mike Chabala in the 26th minute and Chabala sent his first goal in a Timbers uniform into the corner of the net. Seven minutes later Kenny Cooper passed the ball to Diego Chara who tapped it over to Jorge Perlaza who scored from close range to put the Timbers up 2-0.

In the second half Eric Brunner scored off a corner kick from Sal Zizzo to give the Timbers a 3-0 lead. LA never recovered.
