The first pre-season game against an MLS team took place last night against the Chicago Fire. The Impact, with every game they are playing, is starting to build a solid foundation to start the season on the right foot.
The Impact were opportunistic this game. Most of the game was somewhat controlled by the Fire who had more possession. The Impact although did not waste their opportunities and stayed defensively sound.
In the 34th minute, Edwards applied nice pressure on Chicago’s backline that led them to give away the ball cheaply at Taider’s feet. Taider made an easy pass to Piatti.
