CHESTER, Pa. – Veljko Paunovic was excited to return to Talen Energy Stadium, the building where he played his final professional season with the Philadelphia Union in 2011.
And the Chicago Fire head coach hoped that his team would show the same kind of fight and grit that made him a fan favorite in Philly.
So in that respect, at least, he could take a little bit of solace in Wednesday’s 4-3 loss to the Union, in which a furious Chicago rally fell just short.
“We said that when I came to Chicago that we will fight every single game until the end – and that’s what we proved,” Paunovic said.
