TORONTO – Mired in a road winless streak of epic proportions, Chicago Fire took the positives from their 1-0 loss at Toronto FC on Saturday night.
TFC scored the game's only goal in the ninth minute through Justin Morrow, but Veljko Paunovic and his side made adjustments, pushed back, and did not concede again, showing elements of growth that will serve them well in the future.
“We came out slow,” admitted Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson of their start. “We were on the back foot, but the fighting spirit was there. That is [what] we are going to need going forward.
