goal-scoring streak to 9
CHICAGO (AP) --- Rookie Jorge Ruvalcaba, Cade Cowell and Eric Maxim
Choupo-Moting scored goals to lead the New York Red Bulls to a 3-1 victory the
Chicago Fire on Saturday.
The Fire (5-4-2) avoided a shutout when Hugo Cuypers scored in the 87th minute
to extend his goal-scoring streak to nine matches. Cuypers had scored two goals
in three straight to help Chicago climb to fourth place in the Eastern
Conference, entering play. His 11th goal of the season moves him one in front
of FC Dallas' Petar Musa in the Golden Boot Award race.
Ruvalcaba used assists from Emil Forsberg and Adri Mehmeti to find the net the
net in the 45th minute and give the Red Bulls (4-5-3) a 1-0 lead at halftime.
It was the fourth goal for Ruvalcaba in 12 appearances. Forsberg's helper was
his fourth after posting a career-best 11 last season.
Cowell took passes from Ronald Donkor and defender Robert Voloder and scored
his first goal of the campaign for a two-goal lead four minutes into the second
half.
It was the 11th goal for Cowell in 114 career matches. Donkor already has a
career-best four assists, while Voloder notched two in a season for the first
time. He had two in 65 appearances with Sporting Kansas City the previous four
seasons.
Choupo-Moting subbed in to begin the second half and scored on a penalty kick
in the 81st minute to make it 3-0. It was the 37-year-old's second goal this
season after scoring 17 times last year in his first season in the league.
Ethan Horvath saved three shots for New York, helping the Red Bulls win at
Soldier Field for the first time since 2022 while improving to 2-2-1 in their
last five trips there.
Chris Brady totaled one save for Chicago.
Maren Haile-Selassie became the 24th player to make 100 appearances with the
Fire.
Philip Zinckernagel had a career-high five-match streak with a goal
contribution end for Chicago, which leads the all-time series 33-23-16.
Josef Martnez set the record for consecutive matches with at least one goal at
15 while playing for Atlanta United in 2019.
