Andrew GutMan is a HUGE factor the Fire!
So glad to see him back in play, he held this game to a #cf97 win. He’s not flashy, he doesn’t often wow, but he’s right there where he needs to be, givin it. #vamosfire

FULL TIME!
FIRE WIN 1-0 OVER THE EASTERN CONFERENCE LEADERS

The first minute Zinckernagel tally holds up and the Fire move up to 5th in the Eastern Conference Standings

Man of the Match performance for Chris Brady.
Mbokazi, Gutman, Barroso all great on defense #cf97 #vamosfire

Cupps on for Elliott. With Mbokazi, the Fire CB pairing's age COMBINED is the same as Omar González's at 37.

#cf97 #VamosFire
(Sorry, Omar. You're still younger than me.)

HALFTIME! Not the most eventful half in the world outside of the fastest goal in team history!

Few chances either side, wind playing a big part

Fire 1
Nashville 0
