Reggie Lambe

Reggie Lambe and his Toronto FC teammates miserable start to the Major League Soccer season continued, falling to the Chicago Fire, 3-2, at BMO Field to remain without a point through its opening six games.

The loss sees Toronto tie the 2001 D.C. United side for the second-worst start to an MLS season. Should Aron Winter's men lose in their next outing, they will tie the 1999 Kansas City Wizards for the record with an 0-7-0 start.

Dominic Oduro gave Chicago an early lead before both sides combined for three goals in the span of five minutes. Reggie Lambe scored twice in the space of four minutes finding the back of the net with goals in the 36th and 40th minutes before Gonzalo Segares ensured a 2-2 tie going into halftime. Patrick Nyarko provided the game-winner, converting on a breakaway in the 58th minute.

Toronto did not get off on the right foot as a giveaway out of the back gifted Oduro a goal inside the opening minute. Torsten Frings, who curiously made a start in the center of Toronto's defense, was caught in possession by Nyarko, who played his strike partner in from close range. Oduro made no mistake with the scoring chance, slotting a shot past Milos Kocic for his third goal of the season.

But Toronto battled back and leveled through a brilliant strike from Lambe in the 36th minute. The Bermudan took advantage of a poor punch from Chicago goalkeeper Sean Johnson and ripped a shot from distance that sailed into the upper corner.

Lambe then gave Toronto its first lead of the season four minutes later, stuffing home a loose ball at the back post to rejuvenate the home side.

That lead only lasted one minute and 33 seconds though, as a pinpoint set-piece delivery from Sebastian Grazzini was met by a brilliant flick from Segares to cap a thrilling first half with plenty of two-way action.

The game-winner came with Nyarko and Oduro connecting once again. Oduro collected a pass from Logan Pause and promptly played a through ball to find a streaking Nyarko. The Ghanaian latched on and went around Kocic before calmly slotting home his first goal of the season.

Nahki Wells

A second-half goal by leading scorer James Hanson earned Wells and Bradford City the 1-0 win that ensured their Football League survival and left Macclesfield still three points adrift of safety with only two matches left.

After a first half of plenty of endeavor but few goal-scoring chances, Hanson broke the deadlock with a close-range header which appeared to take a deflection off Ben Mills after Craig Fagan's free-kick found him unmarked at the far post. It was Hanson's 14th league and cup goal of the season.

Wells, who scored a hat-trick in Bradford's 3-1 win at Northampton last week, twice went close to scoring before he was booked for an apparent dive after Portuguese keeper Jose Veiga saved at his feet - an incident that also earned Veiga a yellow card.

Substitute Deane Smalley and skipper Ricky Ravenhill also went close to adding to Bradford's lead, Veiga diving at Ravenhill's feet while Smalley saw his 20-yard shot deflected for a corner in stoppage time.

The visitors put the Bradford defence under pressure at times, but keeper Matt Duke had few direct shots to save.
