Chicago Fire closer Alan Gordon scored the game winner Saturday in a 2-1 victory over Orlando City SC.
Aleksandar Katai opened up scoring with a skillfully curled free kick past goalkeeper Joe Bendik. Gordon subbed in at halftime for forward Nemanja Nikolic while Chicago was locked in a 1-1 stalemate with Orlando. Forty minutes later, Alan Gordon did what Alan Gordon does best: scored the late-game-wining goal. Gordo's goal erased the first half equalizer from Orlando midfielder Cristian Higuita.
The Fire win snaps a two-game skid for Chicago while the ebbs and flows of the MLS season run dry in Orlando. After hitting a six-game winning streak, the Lions are now winless in the last three games.
Goalkeepers played a huge role in the match. Bendik put together a solid performance, while Patrick McLain had a standout debut for Chicago between the posts. McLain recorded five saves and helped hold off the Lions when Chicago went down to 10-men just before stoppage time.
