CHESTER, Pa. -- The Portland Timbers continued their strong play on the road with a scoreless draw against the Philadelphia Union on Saturday. The Timbers (8-2-10) improved to 2-1-8 on the road and moved within three points of Real Salt Lake for first place in the Western Conference. Portland also pushed its all-time mark to 2-0-2 against the Union. The game was delayed 40 minutes to open the second half because of severe thunder and lightning in the surrounding area. Following the delay, neither team was able to muster many scoring opportunities. The Union (8-6-7) had two corner kicks in three minutes of stoppage time but couldnt take advantage. The Union played without manager John Hackworth, who was ejected from a victory over Chivas USA. Technical Director Rob Vartughian coached the Union.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi says hes thinking about allowing Rivera to do it this weekend, when the Yankees finish their season with a three-game series at the Houston Astros. If only it were so easy in England as it is in Europe for Leicester City.Dominant on the continent but dawdling on the island, the reigning champion Foxes try again to get on track in the Premier League on Saturday against new boys Middlesbrough at King Power Stadium.Leicester Citys first foray into Champions League competition has gone incredibly well given no one had any idea or expectations of how Claudio Ranieris team would perform. But after a favourable draw, the Foxes clinched the top spot in Group G with a match to spare following their 2-1 home win over Club Brugge on Tuesday.Shinji Okazaki scored five minutes into the contest and Riyad Mahrez converted a penalty on the half-hour as Leicester improved to 4-1-0 in the European club competition. While they did concede their first goal in the second half, the Foxes held on and will face one of the eight group runner-ups when the tournament resumes with the knockout round in February.It is unbelievable, to be top of the group, Ranieri told Leicester Citys official website. I am very happy and very proud. We have another journey now through the knockout. Unbelievable. It is very important to be top of the group but our minds must now go to the Premier League because I want to push my players to think about the Premier League.In the Premier League we are very close to the relegation and we must play at the same level as the Champions League because when we want to do something we achieve something. We must concentrate on the Premier League.The player rotation that has vexed Ranieri as he tries to juggle the two leagues will finally ebb some, but December also brings a busy slate of fixtures around the holiday season. With the Foxes (3-3-6) languishing 14th in the table and far closer to the drop than front-runners Chelsea, that urgency Ranieri is stressing is evidently palpable.If we start like we did against Brugge then theres not much that can stop us, midfielder Demarai Gray said. If we get the right start and result at the weekend then we need to keep that mommentum.ddddddddddddray, though, is not overlooking Boro by any means, having faced them in the Championship. He added: Theyre not easy to break down and dont concede too many goals. They have some good players and out wide too … I know what to expect and so do the lads.Middlesbrough (2-5-5) appear destined to be part of the relegation scrap as they enter this match one point behind Leicester City. Boro were on the wrong end of a 1-0 verdict at home to Chelsea last weekend, conceding a late first-half goal to Diego Costa.Like most promoted teams, offence has been the biggest problem for Middlesbrough. They have a joint-league low 10 goals and have scored more than one on just two occasions. Their road form isnt exactly lacking at 1-4-1, but theyve also scored just three goals in their last five matches outside Riverside Stadium after opening with a 2-0 win at Sunderland on Aug. 21.I think weve adapted our game in each match, especially away from home, Adam Clayton told Boros official website. Were obviously going (to Leicester City) with them as champions as it stands. Its going to be another very tough game but thats why we went through what we did last year -- to play in these games and see what we can do.Boro manager Aitor Karanka confirmed starter George Friend will be unavailable due to injury and defender Fabio could be in line for his second start after a solid 71-minute showing versus Chelsea.Fabio has been training really well, Karanka said. He knew it was going to be difficult for him because George is in his position. But he has been working hard to get his confidence back, and once again his chance has arrived.The teams have not met in the Premier League since recording draws in the 2003-04 season. They last met in the Championship in the 2013-14 campaign, when the Foxes did the double to extend their unbeaten streak over Middlesbrough to 12 matches (6-6-0) in all competitions. ' ' '
