Chicago Fire Top Montreal Impact with Dramatic Game Winner

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. (May 9, 2018)The Chicago Fire (3-4-2, 11 pts.) took three points on Wednesday night against the Montreal Impact (3-7-0, 9 pts.) thanks to an 89th-minute game winner from Kevin Ellis.

The veteran defender cut onto his left foot from the right edge of the box to create space for his shot. Ellis’ blast clipped an Impact player and redirected into the net in the waning moments for his second goal in as many games, and his seventh career MLS goal in eight seasons as a professional.

The Fire dictated terms for much of the evening with 62.
