Despite an impressive 2nd half showing, the Fire's road winless streak continues on
For nearly 40 minutes, the Chicago Fire nearly suffocated the New England Revolution with possession and dangerous changes, looking nothing like a team that hasn’t won on the road in more than two years.
But an inability to finish and a critical mistake by goalkeeper Sean Johnson in the dying minutes Saturday night sealed yet another 1-0 defeat.
Just days after it was announced the Revolution would host the Fire Aug. 9 in the semi-finals of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, the teams provided a generally entertaining match that acted as mini-preview for the match in two-plus weeks.
