CHICAGO — Hugo Cuypers and Brian Gutiérrez each scored a goal to help the Chicago Fire snap a nine-game winless skid and beat the LA Galaxy 2-1. Chicago (3-8-6) won for the first time since a 2-1 victory over the Houston Dynamo on April 6. Gutiérrez intercepted a pass near midfield and raced toward the goal before he rolled a shot from 25 yards out that ricocheted off the post before rolling into the net to give the Fire a 2-1 lead in the 61st minute. LA (7-3-7) had its six-game unbeaten streak snapped. Riqui Puig converted from the penalty spot in the seventh minute to give the Galaxy a 1-0 lead but Cuypers poked a sliding shot into the net from point-blank range to make it 1-1 in the 38th.
