The Chicago Fire remain undefeated in Major League Soccer, beating League leaders Chivas USA 3-2 on Thursday night. Paulo Nagamura put Chivas USA up a goal in the 16th minute, with Chicago equalizing in the 25th through a Cuauhtémoc Blanco penalty. Chivas USA got the lead back when Maykel Galindo converted a penalty in the 37th, and appeared to be on their way to the win. Jesse Marsch was sent off for his second yellow in the 63rd, leaving Chivas USA a man down. Chicago equalized in the 89th through Patrick Nyarko, setting up an unlikely Cuauhtémoc Blanco penalty six minutes into stoppage time for the win.
"I think obviously the red card changed the game," Chicago coach Denis Hamlett said. "We made some subs and I thought our guys went in there and really kind of stepped up a few notches and kept pushing pressure on them, and Patrick got the equalizer, and then we get a break on the last goal.”
