On a night where the cold, blustery weather in Washington, D.C. made it seem like the Chicago Fire were destined for a third straight 0-0 draw, the new look Fire scrapped their way to a 2-0 win over D.C. United at Audi Field. A first half goal by Stanislav Ivanov and a late goal by second half substitute Jonathan Bornstein iced the win, keeping the Fire undefeated in 2022.
The Fire become the 8th team in MLS history to notch shutouts in each of its first three games of the season, and 17-year-old goalkeeping phenom Gabriel Slonina is one of just six goalkeepers in history to start an MLS season with three consecutive clean sheets.
