Know Your Enemy: Sapong, Gaitan lead Fire into Philly
On March 30, Chicago Fire picked up their first win of 2019, a 1-0 victory over New York Red Bulls. Since then, former Union midfielder Veljko Paunovic’s side has collected all three points only four times, but they have scored 16 goals in those four wins.
It’s truly been boom or bust for nine goal man CJ Sapong and the Fire. Thirty-four goals through 22 games is by far the most of any Eastern Conference club below the playoff line, and 33 goals against isn’t even that brutal.
But it’s when they’ve scored and conceded that has been a huge issue.
