Recap: Chicago Fire VS D.C. United 2025-06-07
What a wild ride at Audi Field on Saturday, folks. The Chicago Fire absolutely torched D.C. United with a 7-1 thrashing, but the real star of the show was a tiny, uninvited guest - a baby who decided to make a break for the pitch in the 50th minute. We're not sure what was more impressive, the Fire's six-goal margin of victory or the speed at which stadium security scooped up the little Houdini and returned him to his presumably mortified parent on the sideline.
On the pitch, the Fire's goals were courtesy of M. Haile-Selassie, J. Bamba, T. Barlow (who bagged two), P. Zinckernagel, and B. Gutiérrez. D.C. United's lone consolation goal came from D. Badji, but let's be real, it was a long day for the home team. The Fire's dominance was marked by a few yellow cards, including ones for J. Bamba, Acosta, and P. Zinckernagel, but hey, when you're winning 7-1, who's counting?
The attendance at Audi Field was a respectable 16,715, and referee Lorenzo Hernandez had his hands full keeping up with the action on the pitch. As for the baby's odds of becoming a future MLS star, we'd say they're looking good - after all, they've already got the whole "daring to dream big" thing down pat. The real question is, what were the odds of a baby running onto the pitch during this matchup? We're guessing they were longer than the Fire's chances of losing this one, which, as it turned out, were pretty slim.
