Portland (Oregon), May 21: Eric Brunner's goal in the 19th minute broke a three-match scoring drought as the Portland Timbers went on to defeat the Chicago Fire 2-1 on Sunday.

An own-goal in the 52nd minute proved to be the winner for the Timbers, who had played to scoreless draws in their last two matches.

Jalil Anibaba scored the lone goal for the Fire. The loss ended a two-game winning streak on the road for Chicago.

The Timbers were coming off a 0-0 draw at Houston on Tuesday. That followed a scoreless match at home against the Columbus Crew on May 5 and a 2-0 loss to Montreal the week before.
