Chicago Fire FC were 2-0 victors against USL affiliate side Forward Madison FC on Wednesday afternoon in what was their fifth of six 2021 preseason friendly matches.
Having returned from Orlando this week after a month of training, Wednesday's exhibition was held within the familiar confines of SeatGeek Stadium. Head coach Raphael Wicky's side got goals from midfielder Álvaro Medrán and Brian Gutiérrez on both sides of halftime to help secure their third win of the preseason.
Medrán got the scoring started just three minutes into the match. Midfielder Luka Stojanoviu0107 lined up to take a corner kick and sent an in-swinging delivery into the Madison six-yard box.
