Montero took a pass from Brad Evans in the 67th minute and pushed it past goalkeeper Bill Gaudette, who was making his debut after joining from Los Angeles Galaxy.

Alvaro Fernandez scored in the 16th minute to give Seattle an early 1-0 lead.

Sebastien LaToux, also making his debut with New York, equalised later in the first half before Joel Lindpere gave the side a brief lead in the 61st minute with his third goal of the season.

In Sunday's other match, Brad Davis and Will Bruin scored in the first half, and Oscar Boniek Garcia and Brian Ching scored in the second as Houston extended its unbeaten streak to four games with a 4-0 home win over DC United.

Davis opened the scoring in 19th minute from a penalty that initially hit inside the post. Houston earned the penalty after DC United goalkeeper Bill Hamid was shown a red card for tripping Macoumba Kandji as he was going for a ball in the box.

United's Branko Boskovic was replaced by backup goalkeeper Joe Willis after Hamid was sent off.
