Page Turned: Chicago Fire 0, Nashville SC 3
Chicago Fire closed out the 2024 MLS regular season with a 3-0 loss against Nashville SC on Saturday night at Soldier Field.
After a scoreless first half, Nashville opened the scoring in the 54th minute through Alex Muyl, who capitalized on an assist from substitute Anibal Godoy. Nashville doubled the lead with a goal from Sam Surridge in the 87th minute, before adding the third in the 91st minute from Jacob Shaffleburg.
Tonight’s match marked Frank Klopas’s final game as head coach of the Fire. Klopas, who has been involved with the team in various capacities since 1998, will move to a new role as vice president of football. Chicago heads into the offseason under the direction of newly appointed Director of Football and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter. With the appointment announced last week, Berhalter is the 10th full-time head coach in club history.
Of note, Brady made his 33rd start of the MLS season. That total ties Sean Johnson for the most starts in a single season by a Fire goalkeeper. The Naperville native only missed one match during the 2024 MLS regular season due to international duty with the U.S. U-23s.
