The match on Saturday against the Chicago Fire took some time to get going. Both teams were scoreless come halftime.
The Loons ramped up the action late in the second half. Bongokuhle Hlongwane had another impressive appearance off the bench after replacing Luis Amarilla in the 62'.
Ten minutes later Hlongwane assisted Emanuel Reynoso for the opening goal.
Just a few minutes later Chicago Fire midfielder Federico Navarro was issued a second yellow and was subsequently sent off. Chicago Fire players spouted their objections as they attempted to persuade the referee to look up and watch the replay above The Wonderwall.
