BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. — Brandon Vincent had a goal and an assist and the Chicago Fire tied the Portland Timbers 2-2 on Saturday.
Vincent headed down Bastian Schweinsteiger’s deep diagonal cross to cap the scoring in the 84th minute for the Fire (0-2-1). The result snapped Chicago’s four-game losing streak stretching back to last season.
“When you’re disappointed after you tie a match away from home against a good team, it means that you did a lot of good things because it felt like we could’ve gotten this win today and the first three points,” Timbers coach Giovanni Savarese said.
Sebastian Blanco headed home Andres Flores’ cross from the middle of the 18-yard box to give the Timbers (0-2-2) the 2-1 lead in the 55th minute.
