Jack Elliott, defender and captain of Chicago Fire FC, has earned a place on the MLS Team of the Matchday following his standout performance in a 2-0 victory against CF Montréal during Matchday 26. This recognition highlights his significant contribution to the team’s success, culminating in his first goal for the Fire.

Elliott scored his maiden goal as a member of the Chicago Fire in the 54th minute of the match, adding to his impressive tally of 11 goals over his nine-year professional career. In addition to this goal, he has demonstrated his value to the team this season with three goal contributions, which include two assists made earlier in the year. Elliott’s defensive prowess has also been instrumental in securing the Fire’s third clean sheet of the season.

Goalkeeper Chris Brady played a crucial role in the victory as well, registering his second shutout of the season against CF Montréal. This match marked Brady’s third career shutout against the same Club, with his previous clean sheets recorded in 2023. His efforts contributed to the Fire achieving their sixth win of the season and represents their third all-time win at Stade Saputo.

The victory stands out as Chicago Fire FC’s seventh road win this season, marking their best performance away from home since 2000. They are now just one win short of tying the club record of eight away victories, set in 1999. This resurgence in form is a positive sign for the club as they continue to compete in the MLS.

The recognition for Elliott marks his first commendation while playing for the Chicago Fire, although he has previously been acknowledged multiple times during his tenure with the Philadelphia Union. His last appearance on the MLS Team of the Matchday occurred after Matchday 7 of the 2024 season while representing the Union.

The latest Team of the Matchday included notable players such as Lionel Messi from Inter Miami and Danny Musovski of Seattle Sounders, highlighting the competitive nature of the league this season. Following this recent success, Chicago Fire FC is set to face the New York Red Bulls in an upcoming Eastern Conference matchup at Soldier Field. The match is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m. CT.

In a further show of community engagement, a concert featuring Chicago artist Chance the Rapper will take place after the match, promising an entertaining atmosphere for fans. Additionally, the match will be accessible for global audiences via the MLS Season Pass on Apple TV, with a local radio broadcast available on WLS 890 AM and Que Buena Fire through the Uforia App for Spanish-speaking listeners.

This performance from Jack Elliott and the Chicago Fire marks an encouraging chapter in their season as they strive for further success in the league.
