<p>The Chicago Fire defeated the Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday at Toyota Park. </p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.hottimeinoldtown.com/">Chicago Fire</a> were defeated 2-0 by the Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday at Toyota Park. The Galaxy were without star <span>David Beckham</span>, but another player with a long and proud international career carried the day. <span>Robbie Keane</span>, on his 32nd birthday, scored both goals to move Los Angeles to 7-10-2 on the year. The Fire fall to 8-6-4.</p>
<p>Chicago already fired three shots on goal, all in the second half. A handball call on Fire defender Kalil Anibaba gave Keane a penalty kick in the 24th minute, which the striker successfully converted. Keane would add his second goal in the 78th minute off a beautiful feed from teammate <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/fifa/players/110934/landon-donovan">Landon Donovan</a>.</p>
<p>The Fire managed only three shots on goal, all of which came in the second half.</p>
