Unbeaten in seven consecutive matches and coming off a sixth-straight victory at home, the Chicago Fire have neared the summit of the weekly MLS Power Rankings, checking in at the No. 2 spot in the latest edition.
Goals from Luis Solignac and MLS Golden Boot Leader Nemanja Nikolic pushed the Fire past visiting Atlanta United FC on the weekend, elevating their 2017 point total to 28, second in all of MLS behind only the No. 1-ranked Toronto FC. The winning streak at home is the club's longest since 2012, and one shy of its all-time best.
