Chicago Fire 5 Smith (OG) 17’, Sapong 61’, Katai 63’, Frankowski 67’ 87’
The Fire entered the 2019 season with high expectations. They fell far short of those expectations.
Yet for all their struggles on the pitch, there were isolated moments of joy to be found. There was the 5-1 thrashing of Atlanta United in July. The 5-0 win over New England that got Brad Friedel fired. The 4-0 win over FC Dallas to retake the Brimstone Cup.
And at the tail end of an otherwise difficult year, the Fire put on another thrilling performance that give us one more thing to celebrate.
