Chicago Fire win preseason opener over NYCFC 2-1

Sure, it’s just preseason. But it’s always good to start a season with a win. The Chicago Fire did just that, defeating NYCFC 2-1 in a tune up match Saturday at the Omni Orlando Resort in Orlando, Fla.

After giving up a goal early, the Fire were able to level the match 1-1 in the 14th minute, off a finish from last season’s leading scorer, Robert Beric.
