Cuypers, Bamba score goals, Fire hands Union their 5th straight loss 2

Hugo Cuypers scored his fourth consecutive goal and Jonathan Bamba netted the winner as Chicago Fire ended Philadelphia Union's five-game losing streak.

  • On Saturday at Subaru Park, the Chicago Fire beat the Philadelphia Union 2-1, with Jonathan Bamba scoring the deciding goal in the 58th minute.
  • Amid off-field unrest over Ernst Tanner's suspension, supporters displayed a 'SUNSHINE IS THE BEST DISINFECTANT' banner during Saturday's match, the Union said it's engaged with supporters, and the team finished a winless March.
  • Hugo Cuypers opened the scoring with an unmarked header after Andrew Gutman's run and cross in first-half stoppage time, and Milan Iloski equalized four minutes later following Frankie Westfield's throw and Alejandro Bedoya's header.
  • Chicago's trip yielded a road win aided by Chris Brady's three saves, and Malik Jakupovic made his MLS debut replacing Cavan Sullivan in the 62nd minute.
  • Following Saturday's loss, the club will pause for the FIFA international window and return April 4 against Charlotte FC, while Bradley Carnell urged the squad to re-shift focus and work harder.
