Fire edge Union at Toyota Park

Soccer Betting Lines

06/05/2010 - Bridgeview, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Fire earned a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Union in Major League Soccer action at Toyota Park on Saturday night.

Goals by Baggio Husidic and Marco Pappa on each side of the half were enough to snap a four-game winless run by the Fire (3-3-4).

Husidic put the home side up in the 14th minute with his third goal of the season. Patrick Nyarko set up the goal when he beat a defender on the wing and dribbled into the Philadelphia penalty area before slotting a pass to the Bosnian for an easy finish.

The assist was Nyarko's sixth of the season.

That was how the score stayed until Pappa scored his third of the season in the 74th to give the Fire a 2-0 advantage. Philadelphia goalkeeper Chris Seitz made a save on a tough shot from Fire attacker Justin Mapp, but Pappa was there to knock home the rebound.

The Union (2-6-1) got a goal back in stoppage time by Danny Mwanga, his third straight stoppage time goal, but it was too little too late for the expansion club.

Both clubs have MLS fixtures this week before the World Cup break, with the Fire hosting Colorado on Wednesday, and the Union traveling to Kansas City on Thursday.
