Fire get first win of 2021, 1-0 over Inter Miami
Posted May 22, 2021 7:00 am
CHICAGO (AP) - Luka Stojanović scored on a free kick in the 69th minute and the Chicago Fire beat Inter Miami 1-0 on Saturday night.
From over 30 yards, Stojanović sent in the free kick with a short bounce. Goalkeeper John McCarthy dove low to the right and attempted to block the shot away, but misjudged and bundled it into the goal.
The Fire (1-4-1) snapped a four-game losing streak.
Miami's Robbie Robinson left the game due to a leg injury in the 79th minute and Inter Miami (2-3-2), because it had already used all its substitutions, played the rest of the match down a man.
