VANCOUVER -- Tommy Heinemann has always tried to stay ready on the bench for calls that have rarely come. But on Sunday, the Vancouver Whitecaps striker, substituting on with 10 minutes left in the game, received a chance -- and made the best of it. Heinemanns goal in stoppage time gave the Whitecaps a dramatic 2-2 Major League Soccer draw with Chivas U.S.A. before a crowd of 18,767 at B.C. Place Stadium. "Its good to get a point, but ultimately, I think were all really disappointed that we didnt win," said Heinemann in a subdued Whitecaps dressing room. Heinemann scored his first goal of the season as he volleyed Erik Hurtados diving header home just moments before the final whistle. With the goal, Heinemann, 26, enabled the Whitecaps (10-9-7) to overcome a 2-0 deficit and avoid a humiliating loss. The Goats (5-14-7), last in the Western Conference by a wide margin, were denied a second consecutive victory, which would have been only their second triumph since May. "Im happy with the development of Chivas in the game, but angry for the result because 2-0 was a big opportunity to win the game," said Goats coach Jose Luis Real. "Maybe two mistakes in defence a and we lost the opportunity to get our second win (in a row.)" Despite the Whitecaps disappointment, Heinemann found personal satisfaction. He signed with the Whitecaps in the off-season after being released by the Columbus Crew following just five minute of playing time in 2012 due to a left knee injury that required microfracture surgery. "It means a lot," he said of the goal. "Im excited to get my first one in front of the home fans. Its just an incredible atmosphere to play in. I think tonight (fans) deserve more, but at least we got one (point)." He has logged just 165 minutes in 11 games this season while starting just one. "Coming off the bench is different from starting a game, and I have had to do that in several different instances over my career," said Heinemann, who is in his third MLS season after two campaigns with Columbus. "So (Ive been) just getting myself in the mindset to gear myself up physically to do anything I can to help." Gershon Koffie, in the 64th minute, also scored for the Whitecaps after rookie Erick Torres had staked Chivas to its lead with a pair of first-half goals. Torres now has four goals in his past two games. The 20-year-old has recorded six goals in only seven MLS career games, all starts. Chivas acquired him on loan in July from his hometown club, also Chivas parent organization, Club Deportivo Guadalajara of the Mexican League. The Whitecaps moved into a tie for sixth place in the Western Conference with Dallas. The Caps also avoided a third consecutive loss before three road games in Dallas, San Jose and Montreal. "Sometimes you have to scrap it out, and today we did that," said Whitecaps coach Martin Rennie. "It seemed like we werent going to get that goal, but credit to our team, they kept going all the way to the very end. And, I think thats a really important point." The Whitecaps entered the game looking to make amends for two straight shutout losses. The hosts were wary of taking Chivas lightly after the Los Angeles-based club upset the New York Red Bulls last weekend, but the visitors still surprised the Caps by getting a pair of early goals. Camilo started for Vancouver after watching the previous game against the L.A. Galaxy from the bench due to a slight groin strain. He struggled to get in sync with fellow Kenny Miller and rookie Kekuta Manneh, 18, who excelled in a rare start on the right wing. It was only Mannehs third start of the season. For the second consecutive game, the Whitecaps allowed a goal in the third minute as Torres scored on a stunning bicycle kick from 13 yards out. After Whitecaps central defender Andy OBrien headed a Carlos Alvarez cross straight up in the air, Torres went horizontal and booted the ball into the top left corner of the net as Vancouver goalkeeper David Ousted leaped in vain. "Its a duel, and it goes up in the air," said Ousted. "And, instead of attacking it, were looking at it, and then he just gets to do the bicycle thing. ... Its a nice move, but we just cant allow those kinds of goals." Torres struck again in the 14th minute as he headed in a well-placed cross from Edgar Meja, who deked a couple of defenders on the right flank and sent the ball into the centre of Vancouvers 18-yard box. Torres, listed at five-foot-11, did well to get in front of taller Caps central defender OBrien, who stands six-foot-three, and connect on the ball before he could. After the second Torres goal, Chivas was content to go into a defensive shell and neither he nor his mates generated much offensively. But despite controlling possession, the Whitecaps miscommunicated, and failed to finish on a number of chances. Koffie started the comeback after Chivas goalkeeper Dan Kennedy ran out of the box to the left flank to play a loose ball, but kicked it to him and could not get back to the net in time. OBrien was pulled in favour of Heinemann as an extra striker, setting the stage for the tying goal. Hurtadol, a second-half substitute who has also received limited action, made amends for a bad miss with his assist on the tying goal. "Not a lot of teams have that in them to come back so that just shows the character of this team," said Hurtado, a 22-year-old rookie. But Vancouver striker Miller criticized his club for defending Torres poorly on his bicycle kick, and goalkeeper Ousted said the Caps must learn from their mistakes. "And, going on the road now," said Ousted. "I think we have a tough task." Notes: Vancouver captain Jay DeMerit, recovering from a torn Achilles tendon, remained out of the lineup. ... Whitecaps midfielder Matt Watson made a rare second-consecutive start. ... Vancouver midfielder Russell Teibert was replaced by Erik Hurtado in the 55th minute for tactical reasons. Teibert left after the game for a Canadian national team camp with new coach Benito Floro in Spain. Custom Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys .A.

LOUIS -- Jared Cooks first trip to the end zone was a disaster. He ended up on his backside minus the ball and wondering what happened. Sam Bradford urged the gifted tight end to forget about the missed opportunity, and the key off-season acquisition for the St. Louis Rams certainly made amends. Cook caught two touchdown passes from Bradford and had a key 25-yard reception that led to Greg Zuerleins tiebreaking field goal with 40 seconds to go, helping St. Louis rally for a 27-24 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. It was an impressive turnaround for the 26-year-old Cook after he fumbled away a potential touchdown in the first quarter. "I told him when we came back to the sideline, I said, Hey bro, be ready. Its coming right back to you," Bradford said. "It would have been easy for him to get down out there. He showed a ton of maturity and confidence." Zuerlein, one of the Rams top rookie finds last year, made all four of his field-goal attempts, including a 38-yarder that tied it earlier in the fourth. He made seven field goals from 50 yards or longer last season and had distance to spare on the key kick. "Basically, I stay calm, swing like I know how and the rest takes care of itself," Zuerlein said. "Theres no better feeling. "I dont even know the distances when I go out there to be honest, I just go out there and try to do my job." The kick produced the Rams first season-opening victory since 2006. "Its a great way to start the season, of course," said Robert Quinn, who had three sacks and two forced fumbles. Arizona got a defensive touchdown, and Larry Fitzgerald caught two TD passes from new quarterback Carson Palmer. But coach Bruce Arians was unable to get his first victory with his new team. Palmer was 26 for 40 for 327 yards and an interception and Fitzgerald had eight receptions for 80 yards, but none in the fourth quarter. "We felt like we gave this game away," Fitzgerald said. "In the second half it felt like the drives werent as sustained and we have to improve on that." The Cardinals had an 11-point lead after Fitzgeralds 24-yarder late in the third quarter. Defensive tackle Dan Williams had a 2-yard interception return off a tipped ball. Arizona outgained St. Louis 390-366 in total yards but mustered just 67 yards and four first downs in the fourth quarter.dddddddddddd "Obviously, late in the ballgame weve got to make plays on third down, then keep drives alive to win the game," Arians said. Cook had seven catches for 141 yards and the first multi-touchdown game of his career, with one big blemish. He fumbled away a potential 55-yarder that would have opened the scoring when rookie Tyrann Mathieu punched the ball free at the 8 and the play resulted in a touchback. "It took us a while to get it going," Cook said. "It was a good day overall." Mathieu arrived with a big-play reputation as a third-round pick out of LSU, where in two seasons he forced 11 fumbles and recovered eight fumbles with two touchdowns. Williams scored on his first career interception after Matt Shaughnessy deflected Bradfords pass from the 4. Bradford was 27 for 38 for 299 yards for the Rams, who leaned on Zuerleins leg after twice settling for field goals off takeaways deep in Arizona territory. Zuerleins 38-yarder tied it at 24 with about nine minutes to go. Quinn set up the field goal when he burned Cardinals left tackle Levi Brown for a sack and forced a fumble that was recovered by Chris Long. "Other than the three sacks, I had a pretty good day," Brown said. The Rams lost yards after Trumaine Johnsons 29-yard interception return to the 4 in the first half. Cook began atoning with a 13-yard catch that tied it at 10 with 26 seconds to go in the half, stretching the ball across the pylon while getting shoved out of bounds by Yeremiah Bell. Cook found an open spot in the back of the end zone on a 1-yard catch in the fourth off a nice play-action fake by running back Daryl Richardson, who leaped over the line. The Cardinals opened the scoring in the second quarter on Fitzgeralds 4-yard catch on a perfectly thrown fade in the left corner of the end zone to beat Janoris Jenkins. NOTES: Neither team had major injuries to report. Rams OT Rodger Saffold missed time in the second quarter with a left knee injury but returned before halftime. ... Saffold and LT Jake Long both had penalties on St. Louis opening possession but Bradford did not get sacked. ... Arizonas Andre Roberts also had eight catches for 97 yards. ... The Rams totalled 67 yards rushing on 24 carries, with Richardson getting almost all the work on 20 carries for 63 yards. ' ' '
