FC Dallas looks better but the Fire are more free flowing than I thought.

1-1 at halftime
FC Dallas has had way too many chances but I’m happy with the current result

if you had offered me 1-1 at halftime at the start
i’d have taken it. i’m really pleasantly surprised with the flow and movement off the ball. i expected to start off much more tentatively with all the new faces. the uruguayans are off to a great start too.

Argh
Chaves did need to put so much mustard on that one.

Red Card - Brek Shea
Nice hustle by Puerari to get into that position. It looked light but I think Shea did what he needed to do to take Puerari down without making it seem too aggressive. Red card either way

Yellow card Videira
and he is subbed out shortly later by Baggio Husidic

FINAL
Chicago Fire 1 – FC Dallas 1
Chicago Fire only get one point and could have had three.
In the end, I’ll take this.
Thanks for stopping in c_ns. I think this will be a pretty good season.
