🚨 NYCFC come back to beat nine-man Chicago Fire
MLS is back on Sunday with a pair of games to wrap up Matchday 15.
Here is what has gone down so far in New York City and Bakrar 58', Wolf 69' ; Zinckernagel 19'
It was a rapid start from Chicago, who took the lead in the opening 20 minutes through Philip Zinckernagel, but their highs turned to lows relatively quickly in the subsequent minutes when talismanic midfielder Brian Gutiérrez was sent off for a high elbow.
Despite the numerical superiority, it took the hosts until nearly the hour mark to pull level however. They did so thanks to a slick move capped off by second-half sub Mounsef Bakrar.
But the moment of the match came just 10 minutes later when Hannes Wolf curled a superb effort into the bottom corner to deliver NYCFC the lead.
Hannes Wolf puts @newyorkcityfc ahead! 🐺
