SEATTLE -- This time, Chad Marshall made sure the goal was credited to him. Michael Bradley Jersey .Marshall headed in a corner kick in the 24th minute, and the Seattle Sounders beat the Chicago Fire 1-0 on Wednesday night to get back into the MLS playoff picture.The Sounders (12-13-5) have 41 points and climbed into a tie with idle Portland for the sixth and final playoff berth in the Western Conference. Seattle still has one game at hand on the defending champion Timbers, and also has one more victory, thanks in part to its current three-game winning streak.That included Sundays 4-2 triumph against the Galaxy in Los Angeles. Total wins is the first tiebreaker.Obviously, Sunday was an emotional win, a huge win for us, Marshall said. I dont think tonight was our best soccer by any means. But we were able to grind it out and get a result, and thats a huge three points at this time of year.Marshall, whose four goals for the year equals his output for the last four seasons combined, thought he scored the equalizer in L.A. on Sunday when the Sounders were down 1-0. It ultimately was ruled an own goal.But on Wednesday, there was no doubt it was his.Andreas Ivanschitz set it up with a corner kick from the right side. The ball floated to the top right corner of the 6-yard box, and Marshall went up with a twisting header that went into the far side of the net, way beyond the reach of goalkeeper Sean JohnsonThats his game -- thats what hes known for, Marshall said of Ivanschitz. He serves a great ball. Its just a matter of making good runs. Fortunately, I was able to get on the end of it.Chicago (6-15-9) was eliminated from postseason contention. The Fire, with just one win in their last 40 road contests dating to July 2014 (1-23-16) have four games remaining and can finish with no more than 39 points. D.C. United is sixth in the East with 40 points after beating Columbus earlier Wednesday.Im real disappointed and very sorry for our guys. I think we did a huge job to play against one of the best teams and play the way we wanted to play, Chicago coach Veljko Paunovic said. I think the game plan worked well. Unfortunately, we conceded that goal. It hasnt happened too many times this year on set pieces. We had opportunities, which we had to convert better.One of those came in the 31st minute when Fire leading scorer David Accam had a 14-yard shot from straight in front blocked by Sounders defender Tyrone Mears. The rebound went out Razvan Cocis, but his shot from the top of the arc was saved in front of the right post by Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei, who logged his seventh shutout.Accam had another try from inside the box in the 38th minute, but Marshall got in front of that one.Our game in L.A. was such a massive victory, and they were a little flat tonight, said Sounders interim head coach Brian Schmetzer, now 6-1-2 since taking over on July 26. But I think that was to be expected. They somehow found a way to win, and thats what you like about teams that can get in the playoffs and do some good things in the playoffs.Central defender Marshall now has the third-highest goal total on the team, behind the 12 of rookie forward Jordan Morris and eight of U.S. international Clint Dempsey. However, Dempseys season was declared finished by the Sounders on Tuesday. He has not played since Aug. 21 while being evaluated for an irregular heartbeat. Eric Lichaj USA Jersey . Vokoun departed practice on Saturday morning after discovering swelling in his thigh. He was taken to a local hospital where the clot was revealed. The club announced the surgery following a 5-3 exhibition loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Kellyn Acosta Jersey .5 million, one-year contract on Friday. Hawkins, who turns 41 in December, will compete with Rex Brothers for the closers role at spring training. http://www.usasoccerauthority.com/jesse-gonzalez-usa-jersey/ . Bjorn, who had a 36-hole total of 8-under 134, made a testing six-foot putt to save par on the 16th and a birdie on the 17th before bogeying the final hole after a misjudged approach shot. American Kevin Streelman was in second place after shooting a 69. CHARLESTON, Ill. -- Koch Bar had 17 points and 14 rebounds and Bradley pulled away in overtime after trailing for the better part of the second half to beat Eastern Illinois 87-83 on Tuesday night.Bradley (4-3) opened the overtime period on a 9-2 run to lead 81-74 with 1:17 left. Eastern Illinois (4-3) closed to 81-79 with 42 seconds left, but Bradley made all six of its free-throw attempts from there.The Braves fell behind at the 10:55 mark of the second half and trailed until Darrell Brown made a pair of free throws with 23 seconds left that tied it at 72. Chris Pontius Jersey. The Panthers Montell Goodwin missed a 3-point attempt in the final seconds and Bar secured the rebound to force overtime.JoJo McGlaston added 17 points and Brown scored 14 for Bradley.Demetrius McReynolds led Eastern Illinois with 25 points and Muusa Dama had 12 points and 11 rebounds.
