It wasn’t a win, and it certainly wasn’t perfect, but the Chicago Fire posted their highest scoring, most entertaining match of the season on a soggy Saturday at Soldier Field, drawing 3-3 with the Philadelphia Union.
Chicago defender Miguel Navarro helped the Fire open the scoring, with a shot that deflected off Union defender Jakob Glesnes in the second minute. Boris Sekuliu0107 and Mauricio Pineda, who started alongside Navarro in a new look 5-3-2 for Chicago, also tallied goals in the second half of the draw for the Fire.
Good teams win their home games, but for a Fire team that had only scored four goals in nine games all season coming into the match, earning a point against a quality Union side and scoring three goals isn’t a terrible result.
