BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. (April 2, 2016) – The Chicago Fire picked up their first win of the season with a 1-0 shutout against the Philadelphia Union on Saturday at Toyota Park. The three-point effort also marked head coach Veljko Paunovic’s first win as a member of the Fire.
Playing in blustery and, at times, blizzard-like conditions, the Fire earned their second clean sheet in a row. The last time Chicago accomplished that feat was 2014 when they drew 0-0 against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on July 30 and followed up with a 1-0 win against the New York Red Bulls on Aug.
