BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – The Chicago Fire have given up five goals in their last three games.

But according to goalkeeper Sean Johnson, it hasn’t been because they’ve played bad defense. It’s that they’ve made a few costly mistakes in otherwise sound efforts.

“We’ve been a bit misfortunate,” Johnson told MLSsoccer.com after Saturday’s 2-1 loss to the Seattle Sounders. “We’ve just got to get back to it and limit those mistakes that put us in a bind.”
