Luka Stojanovic s free kick goal in the 69th minute provided the lone tally in a 1-0 victory for the host Chicago Fire over Inter Miami on Saturday night at Soldier Field.
Stojanovic scored his third goal of the season after his shot over Miami s wall of defenders was mishandled by goalkeeper John McCarthy, who let it slip through his grasp and into the goal.
The tally was Chicago s first goal since April 24, snapping a three-match scoreless streak and a string of four consecutive losses for the Fire (1-4-1, 4 points). It was also Chicago s first victory in 12 matches.

D.C. United made their return to Audi Field count, defeating the Chicago Fire 1-0. Edison Flores scored the game’s only goal with a 7th minute header, his first since joining last year in a club-record deal for United.
Hernán Losada had changes in mind after three straight road defeats. Jon Kempin started in goal over Chris Seitz, while Brendan Hines-Ike returned from injury at center back. Drew Skundrich, one day after signing an MLS deal with the club, made his MLS debut as a starter in midfield. Designated Player Paul Arriola, meanwhile, made the bench for the first time all season after a quadriceps injury cut his loan to Swansea City short.
