Cuypers scores MLS-leading 12th goal, Fire wins 3-1 to snap DC United's 5-game
unbeaten streak
WASHINGTON (AP) --- Hugo Cuypers scored his MLS-leading 12th goal this season,
Robin Lod and Maren Haile-Selassie each added a goal, and the Chicago Fire beat
D.C. United 3-1 on Wednesday night.
Cuypers has scored at least one goal in each of the nine games he has played
this season.
Chris Brady had six saves for Chicago (6-4-2).
The Fire had lost back-to-back games for the first time this season.
D.C. (4-5-4), which beat the Fire 2-1 at Soldier Field on March 14, had its
five-game unbeaten streak snapped.
After Sean Johnson made a diving stop of a penalty kick by Philip Zinckernagel,
Cuypers put away a loose ball with a first-touch finish from point-blank range
to give Chicago a 2-1 lead in the 71st minute.
Tai Baribo opened the scoring in the 41st minute. Louis Munteanu boxed out a
defender to win an arcing header played into the area by Baribo, then
back-heeled a pass back to Baribo for a blistering finish inside the left post
from near the penalty spot.
Zinckernagel played a perfectly-placed ball from near the right sideline to the
center of the area and Lod slammed home a header to make it 1-1 in the 62nd
minute.
Haile-Selassie subbed on for Lod in the 63rd and slammed home a rebound to cap
the scoring in the 87th minute.
Johnson had five saves for D.C. United.
