Pedro Gallese had eight saves and his fifth consecutive shutout for Orlando City in a 0-0 tie with the Chicago Fire on Saturday night at Soldier Field.
The Fire (3-4-4), who played a man down for more than 50 minutes after goalkeeper Chris Brady was sent off with a red card, are winless in six straight.
Orlando City (4-2-5), which is unbeaten in eight consecutive games, has not allowed a goal in 526 minutes, a club record. The previous mark of 364 was set mostly during the 2023 MLS Cup playoffs.
Gallese made back-to-back saves in the 10th minute, diving to stop a shot from Philip Zinckernagel and then scrambling to swat away Hugo Cuypers’ put-back attempt, before he stopped Jonathan Bamba’s shot in the 16th.
Brady was shown a red card in the 36th minute after he collided with Orlando City’s Duncan McGuire, and the Fire played a man down the rest of the way. Bamba, a midfielder, went off to make room for Jeffrey Gal — the only other goalkeeper on the roster — to replace Brady.
Gal, a 32-year-old in his third season, made his MLS debut and finished with one save.
