The Chicago Fire only added to the disappointing week it was for Toronto. After falling in the CONCACAF Champions League final mid-week in penalties, Toronto was unable to bounce back with a win at home.
It appeared Toronto was headed to victory in the first-half as they led 2-0 in the opening 21 minutes. Jonathan Osorio tucked home a goal just seven minutes in to give Toronto the early advantage and Victor Vazquez produced a wonderful chip 14 minutes later.
The Chicago Fire failed to convert a penalty in the 38th minute when Alex Bono stopped Schweinsteiger.
