The Chicago Fire extended its home winning streak to seven games - the second-longest streak in club history -- with a 4-0 win over Orlando City. David Accam scored a hat trick and had an
assist on Nemanja Nikolic's league-high 14th goal of the season. Despite the win, the Fire stayed a point behind Toronto FC, a 2-0 winner over New England.
