Gutierrez gets his first start, but the Chicago Fire drop fourth straight match, 1-0 to D.C. United

If you’re a struggling MLS team in need of a win, lately there seems to be an easy solution: Play a game against the Chicago Fire.

For the fourth straight week, the Fire have played a team needing a victory—Atlanta United, the New York Red Bulls, and the Philadelphia Union were all winless when they met Chicago, and D.C. United had lost three in a row, and were absolutely decimated by injuries. And for the fourth straight week, the Fire came away losers—this time 1-0 at Audi Field on Thursday night off a goal by Edison Flores.
