2:2 Chicago New York Gutierrez Barlow Forsberg Manoel 01.27.24 · Preseason

Tom Barlow scored a goal! In the preseason! For the Chicago Fire! Yeah, that last part is pretty important...

Metro's perfect preseason ended as they tied Chicago 2:2 in the last game of the Florida stay. Emil Forsberg opened the scoring for New York with an amazing shot from deep in his OWN half of the field that beat the wandering keeper. The Fire evened it before the break. Barlow gave his new team a second-half lead, only for Elias Manoel to score his fourth preseason goal to tie it up.

"Very tough game, very aggressive game from both teams. We can create some more chances, especially in the second half. When I see the whole 90 minutes, I'm satisfied with the performance, the behavior," said Sandro Schwarz.
