CHICAGO -- Dje D'Avilla had a goal and an assist in the first 14 minutes as Chicago Fire FC spoiled the debut of Portland Timbers coach Martí Cifuentes with a 2-1 victory on Sunday night.

D'Avilla picked up his second assist on a goal by Robin Lod in the 9th minute and then scored for the first time this season five minutes later to give Chicago a 2-0 lead.

Defender Andrew Gutman also had an assist -- his fourth -- on Lod's fourth goal of the season. Maren Haile-Selassie notched his seventh assist on D'Avilla's goal -- one off his career high.

Defender Finn Surman used his head in the 85th minute to score his first career goal in 51 appearances and cut it 2-1. Defender Brandon Bye earned his third assist this season and Ariel Lassiter, a second-half substitute, was credited with his fourth.

Chris Brady totaled one save for Chicago (10-6-2), while James Pantemis stopped two shots for Portland (7-9-3), which made its first trip to the Windy City in eight years. Neither keeper had a save in the first half.

The Fire moved into third place in the Eastern Conference with the victory at the expense of debutant Cifuentes, who is the fifth coach in Timbers' history.

Portland hosts San Diego FC on Wednesday, while the Fire travel to Florida to face Orlando City SC.
