After falling in its opening Group B match at the Generation adidas Cup in Dallas, the Chicago Fire Academy U-16s rebounded with a clean sheet and three points Sunday morning, defeating the New England Revolution, 2-0.
Striker Victor Bezerra opened the scoring early for the Fire, finding net in the 12th minute with an assist provided by Gilberto Angeles. After halftime, Roberto Alonzo doubled the lead for the Fire in the 55th minute with an unassisted tally.
Chicago will complete Group B play Tuesday against Philadelphia Union, who topped Monterrey, 2-1, Sunday morning. Kickoff is slated for 11:15 a.m. CT. The club that finishes atop each group will advance to the Premier Division semifinals
