The Fire got the scoring started quickly against the Dynamo -- Patrick Nyarko pushed Chicago ahead 1-0 with a goal in the first minute. Dan Paladini extended Chicago's lead to 2-0 with a goal in the 19th minute, and the Fire would hold that edge until the Dynamo got on the board with a goal in the 90th minute. Houston's odds were still long at that point, and Chicago's Alex put the Dynamo away for good with a goal in the 93rd minute.
