CHICAGO (AP) — Defender Rafael Czichos scored late in the first half and Chris Brady made it stand up to lead the Chicago Fire to a 1-0 victory over St. Louis City. The Fire eliminated St. Louis City in US Open Cup play with a 2-1 victory earlier in the week under interim coach Frank Klopas in the first meeting between the teams. Klopas took the reins after the Fire fired head coach Ezra Hendrickson. Czichos took a pass from Xherdan Shaqiri off a set piece and scored in the 40th minute for Chicago (3-3-5). Brady made two saves to earn his second clean sheet of the season. St. Louis City (6-4-1) was forced to play a man down after John Nelson picked up a red card in the 70th minute.
