Postgame quotes from Jim Curtin, Warren Creavalle, and Chris Pontius following the loss in Chicago.
Kennedy Igboananike scored the game’s only goal as the Fire knocked off the 10-man Union, 1-0.
Chicago’s 3-5-2 has been defensively solid but offensively challenged. Can Veljko Paunovic tweak the system in time for this weekend’s match against the Union?
The Union were very good defensively in their second win of the season, but there is plenty of work still to be done.

Philadelphia Union opened their 2016 home season with an emphatic 3-0 win over a 10-man New England side despite missing two penalty kicks. CJ Sapong had a brace and Sebastien Le Toux finished off the scoring.
Both Philly and New England have yet to establish an identity this season. The Union will look to build on last week’s win as they aim for the first of (at least) ten home victories in 2016.
Blake will not miss any Union games while away on international duty, March 21-30.
The Union’s defensive organization gave them a chance to win on Saturday, and Chris Pontius did the rest.
