Hugo Cuypers and Jack Elliott each score to help the Fire beat Montreal 2-0

Yahoo20-07-2025
MONTREAL (AP) — Hugo Cuypers and Jack Elliott each scored a goal, and Chris Brady recorded his third clean sheet of the season to help the Chicago Fire beat Montreal 2-0 on Saturday night.
Chicago (9-9-5), which secured its seventh road win, also scored two goals at Atlanta on Wednesday to surpass last year's total output of 40. The 44 goals are the most since the Fire scored 55 in 2019.
Montreal (3-15-6) remains on pace to complete its worst season in the club's 32-year history.
Chicago opened the scoring in the 13th minute. Two quick passes forward led to Leonardo Barroso breaking away and hitting the post, leaving Cuypers for the rebound to reach 13 goals on the season.
Chicago doubled its lead in the opening 10 minutes of the second half when Elliott headed in a corner kick for his first goal with the club.
It was Montreal's first game without a goal since May 31 against the New England Revolution.

Fever's Sophie Cunningham represents Arby's in unprecedented outfit before WNBA game

Sophie Cunningham always makes a statement with her pregame outfits for the Indiana Fever. On Sunday, Cunningham went with a bit of a different approach. She shouted out Arby's, the fast food roast beef chain. MORE: Sabrina Ionescu loses her mind at a ref There isn't an official record of this, but this has to be the first Arby's shirt ever worn on the way into a WNBA game, or maybe a professional sports game anywhere, anytime. That's what they call trendsetting. Cunningham has grown her fanbase greatly in her first season with the Fever, thanks to her talent on the court, her enforcer-like tendencies at times, and her popular social media accounts. And now, she's taking a new approach to the pregame 'fit. MORE: Sparks announce latest plans for Cameron Brink injury return

Leylah Fernandez beats Anna Kalinskaya 6-1, 6-2 to win the DC Open for her biggest title

WASHINGTON (AP) — Leylah Fernandez collected the biggest title of her career at the D.C. Open with her most lopsided victory of the tournament, defeating Anna Kalinskaya 6-1, 6-2 in the final on Sunday. The left-handed Fernandez, a 22-year-old from Canada who is ranked 36th, earned her fourth singles trophy — all have come at hard-court tournaments — and first at a WTA 500 event. She came quite close to a Grand Slam championship as a teenager at the 2021 U.S. Open, making it all the way to the final in New York before losing to Emma Raducanu. There almost was a rematch in Washington, but Kalinskaya eliminated Raducanu in the semifinals Saturday. Until Sunday, the 48th-ranked Kalinskaya had not dropped a set all week. However, she wasn't able to keep up with Fernandez, who saved the only two break points she faced while taking four of Kalinskaya's service games in a match that lasted 1 hour, 10 minutes. One key: Fernandez claimed 10 of the 12 points in the match when Kalinskaya hit a second serve. This was the first title for Fernandez since October 2023 at the Hong Kong Open. She arrived in Washington with a losing record this season and hadn't won more than two matches at the same tournament since last November. With a mix of baseline excellence and strong net play, Fernandez eliminated top-seeded Jessica Pegula — the U.S. Open runner-up last year — and No. 3 seed Elena Rybakina — the Wimbledon champion in 2022 — on the way to the final. The win against Rybakina in Saturday's semifinals took three tiebreakers and more than three hours to decide. There was no such drama against Kalinskaya, a 26-year-old Russian who fell to 0-3 in tour-level finals. She lost to Jasmine Paolini in Dubai and to Pegula in Berlin last year. The men's final scheduled for later Sunday was No. 7 seed Alex de Minaur against No. 12 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who defeated No. 1 Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinals and No. 4 Ben Shelton in the semifinals. ___ AP tennis:
