Chicago Fire Crush Timbers 2-1 | Chicago News

Chicago Fire crushes Portland Timbers 2-1 in a dominant performance, with Dje D’Avilla scoring and assisting early to build a two-goal lead, Robin Lod adding another, and Maren Haile-Selassie setting up the key goal. Portland’s Finn Surman scores his first career goal late, but it’s too little too late for new coach Martí Cifuentes, who’s now the fifth Timbers head coach this season. Chicago keeper Chris Brady only needed one save, while James Pantemis stopped two for Portland. The win lifts the Fire to third in the Eastern Conference. Both teams return Wednesday: Timbers host San Diego FC, Fire travel to Orlando City. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
