Story summary

On Saturday, Chicago Fire rallied from behind to beat New York City FC (NYCFC) 2-1. Chicago’s comeback began when Anton Salétros scored an equalizer in the second half and concluded with Maren Haile-Selassie scoring the winner in the 87th minute. The game was marred by a critical error by NYCFC goalkeeper Matt Freese, who made a poor pass that allowed Haile-Selassie to intercept the ball and score the decisive goal. This loss brings NYCFC’s record down to 8-11-9, raising concerns about their ability to secure a playoff spot given they have just one win in their last ten matches. Chicago Fire, now at 14-8-6, has won three consecutive games and is poised for a top-four finish in the Eastern Conference despite starting the day behind several teams.
