Chicago Fire's Bastian Schweinsteiger makes the difference in road win

MONTREAL -- Bastian Schweinsteiger battled through the pain inflicted by a red-card foul to score and make the difference for a rare Chicago Fire road win that ended their four-game losing streak.

Schweinsteiger scored in the 59th minute to lead Chicago to a 1-0 victory against the Montreal Impact at Stade Saputo on Saturday. The German veteran did so despite being fouled and injured by debuting defender Deian Boldor, who was sent off in the 50th minute after head official Baldomero Toledo used Video Review to deem the Romanian's challenge on Schweinsteiger worthy of a red card.
