Chicago Fire PDL Hands Des Moines Menace First Loss of Season With 1-0 Win

CHICAGO (June 28, 2016) – The Chicago Fire PDL defeated the Des Moines Menace, 1-0, on Tuesday morning as the Men In Red improved to 5-0-0 at Toyota Park this season.

The Fire looked for a measure of revenge against the Menace, who got the best of them in an early season 2-1 loss in Iowa on May 21. After an opening half of missed chances and even possession, the game was seemingly going scoreless into halftime until Mark Segbers found himself running onto a long ball in the Des Moines box where he was able to draw the penalty when he was pushed off of the ball.
