Chicago Fire fall 1-0 at home to MLS-leading Philadelphia Union
Bruno Damiani converted from the penalty spot in the 10th minute and 19-year-old goalkeeper Andrew Rick had his fourth shutout of the season to help the Philadelphia Union beat the Chicago Fire 1-0 on Wednesday night at Soldier Field.
Philadelphia (12-3-4), the MLS points leader with 40, is unbeaten in 11 straight with eight wins.
Jakob Glesnes blocked a shot by the Fire's Brian Gutiérrez in the third minute of stoppage time to preserve the win.
The Fire (7-7-4) had 57% possession and outshot the Union 15-11 but managed just two shots on goal.
Jeffrey Gal has allowed at least one goal in each of his four starts this season for the Fire. Chris Brady, the Fire's regular goalkeeper, is with the U.S. men's national team.
Edward Davis, a 19-year-old forward, made his MLS debut when he subbed on for the Union in place of Damiani in the 88th minute.

Iloski scores club-record 4 goals, San Diego beats Vancouver, moves past 'Caps atop conference
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Milan Iloski scored a club-record four goals, Anders Dreyer had three assists and San Diego FC beat Vancouver 5-2 on Wednesday night to move past the Whitecaps into first in the Western Conference. Iloski is the third player this season (Vancouver's Brian White and Nashville's Sam Surridge) and the 20th in MLS history to score at least four goals in a game. San Diego (11-5-3) has won seven of nine with just one loss in that span and has 36 points, four behind Philadelphia — the points leaders in all of MLS — and one ahead of Vancouver. Vancouver (10-3-5) has lost back-to-back games following an 11-game unbeaten streak. Tomás Ángel scored for San Diego in the 90th minute. Iloski's shot from the edge of the box was parried by goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka but Iloski calmly tapped in the one-touch putback from the left side of the area that slipped inside the near post in the 35th minute and then scored on the counter-attack in the 37th to make it 2-0. Édier Ocampo scored his first career goal in MLS in the 43rd, a first-touch shot off a misplayed ball by San Diego defender Oscar Verhoeven. Dreyer played an arcing ball-in from the right side to the center of the area, where Iloski scored on a diving header in the 44th minute for the first hat trick in club history and then ran onto a ball played ahead by Dreyer and beat Takaoka one on one to make it 4-1 in the 47th. Mathias Laborda cut Vancouver's deficit to 4-2 in the 66th minute and Antoine Coupland, who made his MLS debut when he subbed on in the 87th minute, capped the scoring in the sixth minute of stoppage time. ___
