Chicago Fire’s new striker Kei Kamara was sent off after a second yellow late on in a 1-0 defeat to Philadelphia Union on Saturday.

Joaquin Torres recorded the game’s only goal in the 90th minute to lift the Philadelphia Union to a 1-0 win over the visiting Chicago Fire on Saturday in an Eastern Conference match in Chester, Pennsylvania.

The visitors played the final 40 minutes plus 10 minutes of added time with ten men after Fabian Herbers was assessed his second yellow card of the rough-and-tumble match in the 50th minute.

Chicago’s comeback chance was deflated after Kai Kamara’s second yellow card three minutes into second-half stoppage time, given the host had a two-player advantage.

Chicago Fire’s next match is at home against FC Cincinnati on Saturday, March 18, at 7:30 p.m. CT at Soldier Field.

The Sierra Leone International Osman Kakay has been pivotal under new Queens Park Rangers boss Gareth Ainsworth.

Ainsworth again named the left-back to his starting eleven for Watford on Saturday afternoon at Vicarage Road Stadium.

Key Stats 

Queens Park Rangers are looking to complete a league double over Watford for the first time since the 1986/87 top-flight campaign, following a 3-2 win in the reverse fixture.

Both Watford and QPR have scored in each of their last four league meetings – only in February 1929 (seven games), May 1963 (five games) and December 2007 (five games) have there been longer such runs in this fixture in the Football League.

The Rs are winless in their last nine league games at Loftus Road, losing each of their previous three and conceding 19 goals during that run (2.1 per game).

Chris Wilder, Watford Head Coach:

“If we can escape the traps quickly on Saturday, that’ll be great. I believe we’re taking about 3,000 supporters, and they’ll expect a performance just as much as I will.”

Gareth Ainsworth, Queens Park Rangers Head Coach:

“Watford is always a tough test. Chris Wilder is in charge now, and we have to be adaptable.

“I’ve had many battles with Chris over the years. He’s a fantastic manager who has proved it in the Premier League.

“I’m sure it will be another battle on Saturday.”

Sierra Leone first-choice keeper Mohamed Kamara was subbed on in the 29th minute to replace Moussa Camara to make his CAF Champions League debut in Horoya AC‘s 3-1 defeat to Raja Casablanca at Stade du 26 Mars in Mali.

First-choice goalkeeper Moussa Camara was sent off after 26 minutes for a second yellow card after handling the ball outside the penalty area.

The Moroccans became the first team to qualify for this CAF Champions League quarter-finals after winning 3-1 away to Horoya AC on Tuesday.

A brace for Walid Sabbar and Mohamed Nahiri’s 42nd-minute goal was enough for the visitors in Mali.

Horoya pulled one back six minutes later, the first time Raja was conceding in the group stages when Pape Ndiaye shot from inside the penalty box after a good build-up.

Raja should have completely killed off the game with seven minutes left when they won a penalty kick when goalkeeper Kamara had brought down Naoufel Zerhouni inside the penalty box, but Mohamed Zrida struck his effort wide.

As a result, Raja’s maintain their 100 per cent record in Group with a maximum of 12 points. They are six ahead of Tanzania’s Simba, who moved to second after edging out Ugandan debutants Vipers SC 1-0 in the other group fixture in Dar es Salaam.
