PORTLAND, Oregon --  

Portland's Fanendo Adi scored his 10th goal of the season to give the Timbers a 1-0 victory over Chicago on Friday, moving within three points of top spot in Major League Soccer's Western Conference.

In the 48th minute, Diego Valeri sent a hard-driven cross toward the Chicago goal, and Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson dived low to his right to try to punch the ball clear. Instead, it deflected off the on-rushing Adi and into the net for the game-winning goal.

The win snaps a four-game winless run for Portland while Chicago is yet to win from 10 away games this season.
