Orlando City played to a 0-0 draw against the Chicago Fire Saturday night at Soldier Field. The result extended Orlando City's unbeaten streak to eight consecutive games.
Orlando City goalkeeper Pedro Gallese recorded eight saves, securing his fifth consecutive shutout. The team has not allowed a goal in 526 minutes of game time, establishing a new club record. The previous mark of 364 minutes was set during the 2023 MLS Cup playoffs.
Gallese made back-to-back saves early in the match, stopping a shot from Philip Zinckernagel and then blocking a follow-up attempt by Hugo Cuypers in the 10th minute. He later denied Jonathan Bamba's shot in the 16th minute.
The Fire were forced to play a man down for more than 50 minutes after goalkeeper Chris Brady received a red card in the 36th minute for a foul involving Orlando City's Duncan McGuire.
Brady was replaced by Jeffrey Gal, who made his MLS debut. Gal, in his third season with Chicago, finished the match with one save.
Despite the man advantage for much of the game, the Fire managed an 8-2 edge in shots on goal.
The draw leaves the Fire winless in six games. They are 3-4-4 on the season. Orlando City holds a 4-2-5 record.
