Paunovic applauds another clean sheet kept in "hard test" for Fire defenders

With the MLS Golden Boot leader in Nemanja Nikolic, another electric attacker in David Accam and Luis Solignac delivering wondergoals like this, it’s easy to understand why much of the talk surrounding the streaking Chicago Fire has centered on the output up front.

But for the fifth time in their last six outings, the Fire on Wednesday kept their opponents -- this time Saint Louis FC -- off the scoresheet, taking pressure off their attack-minded teammates and once again sparking the offense with another assist courtesy of left back Brandon Vincent.
