- Kei Kamara nets Chicago winner over Portland Timbers
Ex-Sierra Leone striker Kei Kamara recorded his 144th MLS regular-season goal as Chicago Fire defeated Portland Timbers 2-1 on Wednesday night.
The Chicago Fire kicked off the second half of the season with a much-needed win, snapping a six-game winless streak.
Frank Klopas’ side pulled off a 2-1 win away to the Portland Timbers thanks to a late second-half goal from Kei Kamara.
The MLS veteran’s goal in the 83rd minute was his fifth of the season as he moved within one of second-place Landon Donovan on the all-time list. Chris Wondolowski (171) is the leader.
Fabian Herbers gave Fire the lead in the eighth minute before Franck Boli tallied for Portland, but it was the Sierra Leonean who wrapped a big win for the Fire.
As a result, the three points moved Chicago Fire to 20 points on the season and climbed from 14th to 11th place in the Eastern Conference.
Kei Kamara at the back-post puts @ChicagoFire back in front.
