MLS: Shaqiri scores, but Chicago loses – rts.ch
Xherdan Shaqiri scored his second goal since joining MLS on Saturday. However, the success of the Basel was not enough for Chicago, beaten 2-1 at home by the New York Red Bulls.
For his second game since his calf injury contracted in early April, Xherdan Shaqiri opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 17th minute. But Chicago did not hold the shock against the leader of the Eastern Conference, conceding 2 goals in the last quarter of an hour.
Reduced to 9 after the successive expulsions of Duran (80th) and Czichos (83rd), Chicago cracked in stoppage time, New York transforming a penalty in the 91st. Deprived of victory in its last 5 games (3 losses, 2 draws), the Fire slipped to the penultimate place in the Eastern Conference.
