Chicago Fire 3:2 Toronto FC: Summary & Highlights

It was a back and forth affair at Toyota Park, but unfortunately Toronto FC took more back than they were able to put forth. Their 3-2 loss to the Chicago Fire was a letdown in a game that they controlled for large periods of time. Ultimately, the loss will drop them further in the MLS standings, at a disappointing 1-3-0 to start the season.

Jeff Larentowicz put the finishing touches on the wild affair, with a free kick that ended up being the winner. The free kick came off of a second yellow card shown to Warren Creavalle, which meant Toronto FC were down to 10 men after the 68^th minute. Joevin Jones and Shaun Maloney had the other two goals for the Chicago Fire, while Sebastian Giovinco and Benoit Cheyrou replied for Toronto FC with two well-built goals.

To hold over until post game analysis is released, there were actually some positive goals in the match. Here's Cheyrou finishing off a chance created by Giovinco.
