Overview

• Jonathan Bamba scored in the 2nd minute and Philip Zinckernagel added a 10th-minute strike before Hugo Cuypers made it 3-0 in the 68th.
• Cuypers’ finish was his 16th goal of the season, reinforcing his role as Chicago’s leading scorer.
• Franco, acquired on loan from FC Porto, recorded two assists — his first MLS goal contributions — in what was reported as his first start.
• New England responded through 17-year-old Peyton Miller in the 78th minute and a Carles Gil penalty in stoppage time, with Chris Brady making a late save to deny the equalizer.
• The win moved Chicago past the idle New York Red Bulls into ninth in the Eastern Conference, and New England’s slide reached six losses in eight.
