ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Tomás 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 Joaquín 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.
