Schweinsteiger lifts Chicago as Orlando thrashed
A goal from Bastian Schweinsteiger helped Chicago Fire edge past Montreal Impact in MLS.
Bastian Schweinsteiger lifted Chicago Fire to a much-needed 1-0 win over Montreal Impact at Stade Saputo.
Deian Boldor had been sent off for Montreal just after half-time, and Chicago made the most of the numerical advantage.
The win saw Fire end a four-match losing run in which it slipped to third in the Eastern Conference.
Orlando's own lean patch continued as it was crushed 4-0 by the New England Revolution.
Kei Kamara scored a hat-trick and Teal Bunbury sealed New England's win, as Orlando's winless league run was extended to eight matches.
Jose Aja was sent off in the 80th minute for Orlando, which was trailing 2-0 at the time.
New England is eighth in the Eastern Conference, while Orlando has fallen to 10th.
Elsewhere, a 10-man Dallas held New York Red Bulls to a 2-2 draw and LA Galaxy ended a 10-match winless league run by beating the Colorado Rapids 3-0.
