Chicago Fire vs Philadelphia Union: Falling With Style

In a stunning turn of events, the Chicago Fire put on an extremely entertaining game at home, even leading defending Supporters’ Shield winners Philadelphia Union multiple times in a 3-3 draw on a rainy night by the lake. Here’s how it happened:

Things kicked off very early with a 2nd minute cross from Miguel Navarro getting a miraculous-looking deflection into the net by Philadelphia Union defender Jakob Glesnes, who would be credited with the own goal. The Union seemed almost in shock from this for the first half hour of the game and the Chicago Fire almost got another couple chances from Luka Stojanovic around the 20th minute, but that run was stopped emphatically in the 28th minute when a corner bounced off Francisco Calvo and set up an amazing bicycle kick for teenager Quinn Sullivan.
