About this Article

Victor Pineda already seemed to be moving up the Chicago Fire depth chart. Then came his goal in last week’s reserve match against Houston. Pineda took on a defender 1-on-1, created some space for himself and curled a shot just inside the upper corner of the far post from nearly 30 yards for the Fire’s only goal in a 2-1 loss. It was a “wow” moment for the 19-year-old homegrown player from Bolingbrook.
