Chicago picked up its first win of the season in a snowy and cold match with plenty of wind. A Warren Creavalle red card early in the second helped turned the tide for the Men in Red.

In perhaps some of the craziest weather ever seen at Toyota Park, the Chicago Fire earned their first win of the season with a 1-0 defeat over the Philadelphia Union.

Despite three separate snowfalls, the weather could not ice the Fire offense Saturday as Kennedy Igboananike finally broke through in the 51st minute with a low shot to Andre Blake's left that beat the keeper for what would be the winner.
