Chancalay, Ivačič lead Revolution to 1
CHICAGO (AP) — Tomás Chancalay scored in the second half and newly signed Aljaž Ivačič made it stand up in his čičfirst start in goal for New England as the Revolution edged the Chicago Fire 1-0 on Saturday night.
The Revolution (2-7-1) snapped a three-match losing streak after the start was delayed an hour because of inclement weather.
Chancalay’s goal was unassisted in the 62nd minute. Both his goals this season have come in the last two matches.
Ivačič saved three shots to earn a clean sheet in his first start for New England. Ivačič played for the Portland Timbers from 2019-23 where he posted eight shutouts — six in 2022 — in 53 starts.
Chris Brady finished with three saves for the Fire (2-5-4). Brady had two saves and Ivačič wasn’t tested in a scoreless first half.
The Revolution, in their first season under manager Caleb Porter, and visiting Fire played to a 1-1 draw on March 23.
