Chris Rolfe scored in the 14th minute to give Chicago the 1-0 win over Supporters' Shield winners DC United in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals Thursday night at Toyota Park.
A great atmosphere at Toyota Park boosted the Fire and particular Rolfe who seemed to be moving just a bit quicker than DC's back line. On the goal, Rolfe simply picked up a misplayed ball and fired a hard shot past Troy Perkins. Perkins actually did well to keep the score at 1-0, as the defense seemed to have difficulty with long, searching balls played over the top.
Game 2 will be next Thursday, November 1 at RFK Stadium.
