A weather delay culled the Fire’s momentum near the half, which the hosts exploited to tie the match early in the second half. But in a moment of brilliance, forward Robert Lewandowski drew a foul in the box that gave him his first penalty attempt with Chicago. The Polish striker left no doubt on the kick, giving the Fire a 2-1 lead they would not relinquish. The victory was their sixth in a row across all competitions, the best such mark since 1998.<\/p>\n Red Bull New York has endured a tougher start to the second half of the season. Following a 3-2 win over Orlando on August 1, New York returned from a week off to see a 1-0 lead turn into a 2-1 loss against Atlanta United FC last Saturday. The Red Bulls held their own on Wednesday at home against Supporters’ Shield leaders Nashville SC for 90 minutes, before a set piece header in stoppage time handed them their fourth loss in five matches since the break.<\/p>\n All-Time Major League Soccer Record vs. RBNY:\u00a0(33-23-16)<\/p>\n Last Game vs. RBNY:\u00a0May 9, 2025 (1-3 L) \u2013 Soldier Field \u2013 Chicago (Match Recap<\/a>) \n Hyundai Keys to the Match:<\/p>\n Glory Days:\u00a0The Men in Red extended their winning streak Wednesday to six across all competitions, a mark not seen since 1998.
