Thanks to Chris Pontius’s first goal of the season, the Philadelphia Union are ahead of the Chicago Fire at the break.
Pontius found the net just ten minutes into the match, contorting himself to flick a cross past Fire goalkeeper Matt Lampson. Keegan Rosenberry got the assist, after clearing some space with a cutback and sending in a cross with his left foot.
The cut back, the cross, and the light flick with the head from Pontius to open this game up#DOOP https://t.co/DfhM2D28n1

In what was a sloppy 45 minutes, neither side had a clear-cut chance, Pontius’s goal included.
