MLS Timbers beat East-leading DC United 1-0 Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted May. 28, 2015 at 2:00 AM By The Associated Press Posted May. 28, 2015 at 2:00 AM » Social News PORTLAND — Captain Will Johnson returned to Portland's lineup to help the Timbers beat Eastern Conference-leading D.C. United 1-0 on Wednesday night. Johnson missed the first 12 games of the season while recovering from a broken right leg suffered on Sept. 27. He played 84 minutes before being substituted out. Maximiliano Urruti scored the lone goal in the fifth minute. Gaston Fernandez jumped on a loose ball on the right wing and sent a hard, rolling cross into the box for Urruti to bang home for his second goal of the season. Portland (4-5-4) threatened to extend the lead on a few occasions, but D.C. goalkeeper Bill Hamid made several fine saves, most notably on a sizzling shot by Darion Asprilla in the 71st minute and on Alvas Powell's header in the 81st. D.C. United's best opportunity came in the 31st minute, when a corner kick by Markus Halsti found an unguarded Steve Birnbaum in the area, but the defender's header went wide of the goal. United dropped to 6-3-4.
