MONTREAL – Chicago Fire fans, it's been awhile.
The Fire snapped their 36-game road winless streak with a 3-0 victory over the Montreal Impact at Saputo Stadium Saturday night. It was their first victory away from home since they beat the New England Revolution, 1-0, in Foxborough, Mass. on July 12, 2014.
The road win, which ended a club-record nine-game road losing streak, had been a long time coming for head coach Veljko Paunovic, who came into the post-game press conference all smiles.
"I would like to dedicate this victory to our fans who have been waiting passionately," he said.
