BRONX, N.Y. (July 22, 2017) – The Chicago Fire (11-4-5, 38 pts.) saw their 11-match unbeaten run in MLS come to an end on Saturday afternoon, falling 2-1 to New York City FC (11-6-4, 37 pts.) at Yankee Stadium. Second half goals from David Villa and Frederic Brillant were ultimately enough to overcome a David Accam golazo and claim three points for the hosts.
City provided the game’s early drama, as midfielder Yangel Herrera was ejected in the 12th minute of the match after receiving a second yellow card in a span of four minutes.
