FC Dallas dropped its first road game of the season on Thursday night, a 2-1 loss to the Chicago Fire.
Both teams traded goals in the opening ten minutes of play before settling down in this match. Oscar Pareja opted for a massive change in the lineup that saw plenty of new faces. The Fire took full advantage of that in the opening minutes of the match. Bastian Schweinsteiger crossed a ball to the back post for Brandon Vincent who then played the ball in to Nemanja Nikolic.
