ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) --- Toms Chancalay scored his first goal of the season
and added an assist, Kelvin Yeboah had a goal for the second consecutive game,
and Minnesota United beat the Portland Timbers 2-0 on Saturday night.
The Timbers (2-5-1) --- who beat Los Angeles FC 2-1 last time out to snap a
five-game unbeaten streak --- have lost five of their last seven.
Minnesota (4-2-2) has won three in a row and is unbeaten in four straight
following a 6-0 defeat --- the worst loss in club history --- to Vancouver on
March 15.
Chancalay gave Minnesota a 1-0 lead in the 16th minute. Jefferson Diaz, along
the right end line, passed the ball to Chancalay for a rising finish from the
right edge of the penalty arc the slipped past the outstretched arm of
goalkeeper James Pantemis and inside the back post.
Chancalay, on the counter-attack, ran onto a long ball-ahead played by Joaqun
Pereyra and then rolled a cross from the left side of the area to a charging
Yeboah for the finish into a wide-open net from point-blank range that made it
2-0 in the 60th minute.
Pantemis finished with five saves.
Minnesota's Drake Callender finished with two saves and had his third shutout
this season.
