After a fairly lively first half with a handful of counter attack chances, the Fire faded badly in the second half and surrendered a goal to finish their three-game road trip with zero points.
It looked OK for a minute.
With David Accam back in the starting lineup, the Chicago Fire showed signs of life in the first half despite having less than 30 percent of the possession. But that large possession edge eventually wore down the Men in Red who faded badly in the second half and gave up a Mike Grella goal in the 58th minute to seal their fate.
