Chicago Fire secured a 3-1 victory against Vancouver Whitecaps, marking the latter's first loss of the season. Hugo Cuypers scored early, followed by a quick equalizer from Daniel Rios. Philip Zinckernagel and Romenique Kouame later added goals for the Fire, securing their third consecutive away victory, a feat not accomplished since May 2009. Coach Gregg Berhalter praised the team's resilience and Cuypers' exceptional performance, noting the emotional significance of coaching against his son, Sebastian Berhalter, who played for Vancouver.
This is the first time in 16 years that the club has won three games in a row and it says a lot about this group and their mindset.
Hugo is the man on the spot and, if we can provide him service, he finishes very calmly and collected.
Every time there was a set piece, I held my breath - he puts in some good balls. It's kind of annoying!
This success means they have three straight road victories. It is the first time they have achieved that feat in MLS since ... May 2009.
