The Union are still leading the Eastern Conference, but wasted their chances in a 1-0 loss against the Chicago Fire.
Jim Curtin’s first-place Philadelphia Union took a hit as they lost 1-0 to 13th-place Chicago Fire on Wednesday at Soldier Field in Chicago. The Union hadn’t lost a regular season match in nine games heading into the night, and hadn’t lost to Chicago since 2019.
Unfortunately for the Union, Curtin’s assertion that this match might flummox them proved true as the squad dropped all three points in Chicago. Philadelphia came out strong with its trademark spark in the opening minutesbut ceded momentum to Chicago as the half wore on. Possession and pace were Chicago’s to direct, and Philadelphia looked flat and uninspired in response. The Union took only four shots in the first half for an xG of just 0.15. With little to say in terms of its offensive threat, the squad made mistakes in possession and failed to assert its tempo into the match.
