PORTLAND, Ore. Nike Air Jordan Pas Cher . -- Sal Zizzo and Brian Umony scored first-half goals to lead the Portland Timbers to a 2-0 win over Club Atletico Independiente of Argentina in a friendly Tuesday night. The win was Portlands first on its home field in nine games, a stretch that includes five Major League Soccer and four exhibition matches. The last time the Timbers won at Jeld-Wen Field was May 21 against Columbus. The Timbers (6-10-3 MLS) are 1-3 in exhibition matches this season. "In the first half, they were the superior team," Independiente coach Antonio Mohamed said of the Timbers. Independiente, of the Argentine Primera Division, has won 16 international championships during its existence and is considered one of the worlds most successful club teams. Coming off a 1-0 loss at Columbus last Saturday, most of the Timbers starters rested against the Argentina opponent. Nonetheless, Portland dominated the first half, as the Timbers produced a number of quality scoring opportunities, two that led to goals. "I thought every player we had on the field, especially in the first half, looked like a quality player," Portland coach John Spencer said. Portland took a 1-0 lead during the 36th minute when Zizzo streaked down the right side of the field and kicked a 15-yard shot past Independiente goalie Hilario Navarro. Three minutes later, the Timbers struck with a beautiful goal off a set play 35 yards from the goal. Mike Chabala crossed the ball just inside the top of the penalty box, where Umony sent a header over Navarro and into the goal for a 2-0 Portland lead. Chabala, a defender acquired in a trade with Houston last Thursday, made his Timbers debut against Independiente. "For me, (the assist) wasnt the important part. Its the shutout, and showing the guys I can contribute to the team," Chabala said. The Timbers have had trouble holding leads during their recent home-field slide. Last week in an exhibition against West Bromwich Albion, Portland built a 2-0 halftime lead, only to lose 3-2 in stoppage time. "Were tired of losing games. When you put your uniform on, it means something," Spencer said. "At halftime, you could tell from the guys look in their eyes that they werent going to it slip." Independiente threatened to score a couple of times during the second half. CAIs best chance came during the 85th minute on a set play just outside the penalty box, but Julian Velaquezs kick was turned away by Portlands defensive wall. Missing from the Timbers was midfielder Jack Jewsbury, who will participate Wednesday night for the Major League Soccer all-star team against Manchester United in New Jersey.

LOUIS - Matt Adams hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the St.The London Knights Stolarz got a very lenient two-minute high-sticking penalty for his actions when he swung his stick and hit Windsor Spitfires Josh Ho-Sang in the back of the head. Ho-Sang is a highly regarded prospect, as seen in TSNs Midseason Rankings. This was Game 3 of their playoff series and that wasnt the only strange incident in Londons 10-2 win over Windsor. This game was bizarre in other ways as well.
