It was a monstrous moment, and it put Chicago back in front. This is such a big win for Chicago. Obviously it was on the road, and everyone knows how rare those kinds of wins are for the Fire. What was really impressive, though, was the fact that they bounced back instead of collapsing after a woeful start to the second half. However, he was denied by the post, and the ricochet off a defender barely went by the wrong side of the woodwork. It was a wonderful goal, but it was all a bit too easy. The Whitecaps pushed forward in search of another tying goal, but it would be the Fire who scored next to seal the result. His touch was too heavy, though, which allowed Slonina to fly off his line and make the big save. Things started to even up a bit, and the contest became quite an open one. Substitute Ryan Gauld dropped an absolute dime of a cross towards the back post, and it picked out Cavallini for an easy finish from close range. He blasted a shot towards goal, and it somehow curved in a dangerous direction, but the ball went just over. That goal would be the winner, and a Chris Mueller curler late on was the cherry on top of a monumental road victory for the Fire. In a surprise turn of events, it was Chicago who took an early lead on the night. His curler looked like it had a chance, but the effort went just wide.

Chicago nearly took a 2-0 advantage in the 38th minute following another defensive breakdown that allowed Brian Gutierrez a chance to get a good shot off. ““Honestly, as it kind of bounced off, I was just hoping that I kind of guided it as much as I could away. The Scottish attacking midfielder got a quick touch off to Cavallini down low who jumped up and sent a left-footed shot past the Chicago ‘keeper to make it 1-1. Slonina came far out of the net to smother the ensuing shot. “For 60 minutes, (Chicago) were the best team.” We were the best team, but it’s the only moment,” he said. And we had the opportunity to really close that gap today and unfortunately too many guys weren’t there, weren’t at it today.” And I think we as a group, we need to learn from this as quickly as possible.” The visitors outshot the ‘Caps 16-8, and 4-3 in on-target shots. Shaqiri registered an assist on the play. Maybe (it was) the final, maybe wrong choices by us as a staff for the lineup today, maybe five million things we’ll analyze. “Tonight was our worst performance of the season,” said Vanni Sartini, Vancouver’s head coach.

The Whitecaps clearly had their eyes on the big prize up ahead: the massive Canadian Championship match against Toronto on Tuesday.

Bradley also added a second in first-half injury time to give him three on the year. Lorenzo Insigne, Federico Bernardeschi and Domenico Criscito — are all now ready to play. He had a shot and a team-high two key passes. On the right side they were exploiting us a lot. The Caps coach talked about the information overload he threw at Gressel in training this week, on top of the normal hard physical training. 2: Golden scoring chances for the Caps in an otherwise forgettable first half. 16: Shots for Chicago to Vancouver’s eight. Maybe it was (us looking ahead to) the final, maybe wrong choices by us as a staff for the line up today, maybe five million things we’ll analyze. Possession is a stat that can be misleading viewed on its own, but a macro view of the season paints the picture of a team unable to consistently build and impose their will on opposing teams. The first half were a Chicago domination, though they ticked up the energy in the second half, tying the game before conceding two more goals. Lucas Cavallini tied it up in the 54th minute for Vancouver (7-10-5), but Chicago’s Rafael Czichos headed home the eventual winner in the 76th minute. And their big guns, like Ryan Gauld and Brian White, had plenty of time to rest on the bench before coming on as second half subs.

Xherdan Shaqiri had given Chicago a first half lead, but Vancouver came out a different looking side for the second half and when Lucas Cavallini brought them ...

And Shaq drove with the ball, and he just kind of laid me in and from there it was a 1v1 that I just took the guy inside and did a pretty classic finish to the back post for a winger on that side. “I think it’s just a testament to the character of the guys. We knew that they were a big team, and we were going to suffer – we are not a big team, we are pretty small as a team – on the second and third balls on the cross and unfortunately they scored on a cross.” Obviously they got that goal, but as long as we continue to do what we were doing; it was just a matter of taking them and finishing off the game. Had a bit of a lapse in the beginning of the second half which is something we need to work out moving forward, but we bounced back really well, responded, and obviously got a really, really big win, so I’m thrilled.” “I think it was important to start playing well because we know, and we had a long trip here, and we knew that we going to play on turf and it’s not always simple to play on turf. Because what happened in the game prior to that could have been devastating to us for the rest of the season. That’s where we wanted to be all along the entire year and we’re happy we’re here. Even when the game was tied 1-1 in the second half, I had no doubt that we were going to win the game. Unfortunately we don’t capitalize and then we get scored on the second phase of a set piece. So we wanted to be a little bit more aggressive and to be honest, we did the first 25 minutes of the second half, we were the best team, but it’s the only moment. There’s still a lot of the season left to play, but these are the results you can look back on and see where things went wrong.
