Tom Barlo made his first career MLS hat trick for his first three goals of the season and Chicago Fire won 7–1 over DC United on Saturday night.
Maran Halle-Selassi, Jonathan Bamba, Philip Zinkernegel and Brian Gutirez also scored for Chicago (7-5-4, 25 points), who won four out of five in the league and six out of seven in total.
The result carried forward the fire over the FC of New York City at the goal margin in the ninth at the Eastern Conference and in the final East Playoff spot for now. Fire has also played a less match than everyone, but on one side over them in the table.
Dominic Badji comforted DC (4-8-6, 18 digits), which allowed at least six goals for the second time this season after losing 6–1 in San Jose on 6 April.
Chicago’s 35 goals ranks second in MLS, while DC’s 36 permission is highest. This season, a seven goal in a match became the second MLS team.
Barlo made its first debut of the season in place of Hugo Cupers, which was listed as a suspect on the league injury report with the Lower-Body issue, but did not make the match-day roster of the manager Greg Berahaltar.
Halle-Saili and Bamba had already scored, before Barlo made his first contribution to one of the best scenes of the Chicago match in the 30th minute.
Andrew Gutman intercepted a pass in half of his half with his first touch, turning an ideal long, near the left leg to the left and the barlo, who scored an ambitious oblique run through two centers of DC.
The barlo ran away in the strid, and then an easy finish inside the previous goalkeeper Luis Baraja and the distant right post.
The Zourneman Striker made it 4–0 just before the halftime after another strong break from the fire. Hale-Salasi provided final assistance before the end of one time beyond the barlo.
Barlo completed his hat trick in the 65th minute and the second multi-jolle performance of his MLS career, this time improved a volley with the rebound of Baraja’s Save.
