CLEARWATER, FLA. - Chicago Fire FC picked up its second win in as many preseason matches on Saturday, defeating reigning Supporters' Shield winners Philadelphia Union 1-0 at Joe Dimaggio Sports Complex.

The two sides played to a scoreless draw through the first 90 minutes before Fire homegrown Javier Casas Jr. delivered the winning goal 10 minutes into an extra 25-minute period the clubs agreed to play prior to the start of the match.
