Two unconventional goals lead to the Union’s first MLS win of the season in Chicago

CHICAGO – After a dominant first half with nothing to show for it, the Union scored two unconventional second half goals to power past the Fire at Soldier Field, 2-0, on Saturday afternoon.

The Union picked up their first win of the 2021 regular season to consolidate a strong week that started with a Concacaf Champions League semfinal berth after a second leg draw with Atlanta.

Cory Burke scored his fifth goal in four career games against Chicago with a smashed volley in the 51st minute. The assist came on a sumptuous chip from Jamiro Monteiro that eliminated three defenders.
