Chicago Fire FC goalkeeper Chris Brady was named to the MLS Team of the Matchday for Matchday 13 for his performance in Wednesday's 3-1 victory against D.C. United at Audi Field in Washington.
The Homegrown goalkeeper posted his first career victory against D.C. United, helping keep the Fire in the match with six saves. His efforts were rewarded with a win as the Fire scored three unanswered goals in the second half, including Hugo Cuypers’ league-leading 12th tally of 2026, which was also a game-winner.
Brady’s mention on the Team of the Matchday is his third of 2026 and last since Matchday 6, when he posted his third clean sheet in six matches in a 1-0 victory against Nashville SC at Soldier Field. It is also the ninth of his career and seventh on the Best XI of the list.
