Chicago Fire: Houston Dynamo win the late-season spark?

For the first time in a long time, Chicago Fire fans had something to celebrate. On Saturday night, the Men In Red picked up their first away win of the season, beating the Houston Dynamo 1-0 at BBVA Compass Stadium in Texas. A Nemanja Nikolic volley a Nicolas Gaitan cross just before half-time was enough to hand Chicago the three points they desperately needed.

Now, the Fire fanbase are left waiting to see how this performance will affect the team. Could this be the beginning of a late-season surge, or is it just another false dawn in Chicago?
