BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. (July 12, 2026) – Chicago Fire FC II (6-5-6-3, 27 points) earned a 3-0 victory against Red Bull New York II (9-5-4-1, 32 points) Sunday afternoon at SeatGeek Stadium.
Jason Shokalook scored twice in the first half and Dean Boltz added a third and final tally just one minute into stoppage time to register the team’s sixth win of the season.
In what is a familiar pairing, David Poreba and Shokalook combined for the Club’s first goal of the match in just the third minute. Poreba challenged the New York goalkeeper as he played the ball with his feet well outside the box. The relentless midfielder collected the ball and drove to the right side of the box and dished it in for Shokalook, who tapped it home with his left foot.
Shokalook doubled the score in the 14th minute, capitalizing off Christopher Cupps’ first Chicago Fire II assist. Cupps collected a pass from Trip Fleming, looking up to send Shokalook up the right flank. Shokalook ran onto the long pass, taking the ball into the box and sending the close-range shot into the net.
Boltz took the field at halftime, replacing Shokalook up top and taking his cue from the Pennsylvania native. Damyan Villanueva collected a ball in the middle of the field in the 46th minute, slipping it past the backline for Boltz, who pounced and struck low for Chicago’s third goal of the game.
