Hugo Cuypers scores MLS-leading 13th goal, Fire beats Montreal 2-0
MONTREAL (AP) --- Hugo Cuypers scored his MLS-leading 13th goal this season,
Philip Zinckernagel added a goal and an assist, and the Chicago Fire beat CF
Montreal 2-0 on Saturday.
Cuypers has at least one goal in each games he's played this season and is just
the third player in MLS history to score in 10 consecutive regular-season
contests.
Chris Brady had six saves for Chicago and has six shutouts this season.
The Fire (7-4-2), who beat D.C. United 3-1 on Wednesday to snap a three-game
losing streak, have won back-to-back games.
Zinckernagel ran onto a failed clearance attempt by Brayan Vera and skipped a
first-touch shot from just inside the top of the penalty box into the net to
open the scoring in the 14th minute.
Thomas Gillier had four saves for Montreal (4-8-1).
The Fire beat Montreal 3-0 at Soldier Field on Feb. 28.
