Schweinsteiger scores in his MLS debut, Fire ties Impact 2-2

German soccer star Bastian Schweinsteiger waves to fans upon his arrival at O’Hare International Airport, Tuesday, March 28, 2017, in Chicago, after being acquired by the MLS Chicago Fire soccer team from Manchester United.

Juninho was sent off 10 minutes later for collecting the second of two yellow cards. Matteo Mancosu canceled out Basti’s goal as the Fire meekly surrendered their lead and then Michael Harrington and Jorge Bava conspired to almost piss the game away late on as they gifted a go-ahead goal to Ballou Jean-Yves Tabla.

Montreal’s celebrations were short-lived, though.

But three minutes into stoppage time, Chicago scored again through Luis Solignac to earn a deserved share of the points.

Chicago Fire midfielder Dax McCarty (6) kicks the ball past Real Salt Lake midfielder Albert Rusnak (11) during the match at Toyota Park. How much better should this team be with him in it?

Why can’t the Impact defend set pieces?

Schweinsteiger’s brace came on a short corner.

The finish was a replay of the March 11 home opener, which saw San Jose rally from a two-goal deficit with an added-time goal for a 2-2 tie at Olympic Stadium.

Schweinsteiger finally left Old Trafford this week, signing a deal with the MLS side Chicago Fire after failing to secure regular first team football under Mourinho. Schweinsteiger may be 32, but he’s a young 32. “We have to live with it, with the one point, but it was a very good reaction”.

Bastian Schweinsteiger kickstarted his MLS career in fine fashion with a goal on debut for Chicago Fire.

The carnival started on Wednesday when Bastian Schweinsteiger was asked in his inaugural press conference if he believed the Fire could win the World Cup. If this is what we can expect from Schweinsteiger going forward, then it’s safe to say he’s going to be an impact player in this league.
