Chancalay and Yeboah score goals, Minnesota beats Timbers 2-0

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.

Minnesota United continued their impressive turnaround with a commanding 2-0 victory over the Portland Timbers on Saturday night, fueled by standout performances from Tomás Chancalay and Kelvin Yeboah.

Chancalay broke the deadlock in the 16th minute, netting his first goal of the season with a beautifully struck shot from the edge of the area that curled past the goalkeeper. He wasn't done there, turning provider in the 60th minute with a perfect cross on a counter-attack that found a charging Kelvin Yeboah for a simple tap-in, marking Yeboah's goal in a second consecutive game.

This result extends Minnesota's winning streak to three matches and an unbeaten run to four, a remarkable response to their 6-0 defeat in March. Goalkeeper Drake Callender secured his third clean sheet of the season with two key saves, solidifying the defensive effort.

For the Portland Timbers, the loss is a step back after their previous upset win over Los Angeles FC. They have now lost five of their last seven matches, highlighting a need to find consistency as the season progresses.
