The Chicago Fire shepherded another Florida team to another scoreless draw. Here are some takeaways from the match. One good, one bad, and one sad.

The Defense is Good

The Fire continue to get better on defense. Rafael Czichos’ acquisition has already paid dividends. Wyatt Omsberg had his best performance in a Fire shirt, and arguably, the best performance of his career. He lead the team in tackles and duels won, and didn’t allow Orlando’s bright young signings and superstar talents to get a foothold in the game for the longest time. Czichos has given his center-back partner the confidence to play aggressively and trust that if he makes a mistake (which does happen to even the best defenders) that someone will be there to help make things better.
