Defensive mishaps and missed chances once again reared their ugly head as the Fire showed glimpses of 2015 after a promising preseason.
"Where we're going, you don't need defense" -- said by every player on the Fire and New York City FC right before Sunday's game, probably.
The Chicago Fire and New York City FC put on an entertaining, up and down match that resulted in a 4-3 victory for New York Sunday at Toyota Park. Chicago dropped three points at home, had all-too-frequent defensive breakdowns and missed a handful of great chances. In other words, it seemed like 2015 a bit.
