MLS Review: Fire win with second-half show

The Chicago Fire claimed a win over the San Jose Earthquakes, while Real Salt Lake drew 1-1 in its home clash against D.C. United.

The Chicago Fire have made some inroads in the MLS Eastern Conference after a well-fought 1-0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes on Friday.

John Goossens scored the winner after 58 minutes to send the home fans into raptures as the club claimed just its third league win of the season. It was the Dutchman’s first goal in MLS and came in some style, even if Earthquakes goalkeeper David Bingham might have done better.
