The 2019 MLS season got off to a disappointing start for the Chicago Fire as the Men In Red lost 2-1 away to the Los Angeles Galaxy. After an eventful first half, the Fire took the lead through CJ Sapong, who scored with ease after a backpass went horribly wrong for LA.
The away side had many chances to make it two but failed to double their advantage. And Chicago would be made to pay, as the Galaxy equalized after a header from Daniel Steres before Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave them lead, poking home a rebound from close range.
