CHESTER, Pa. - Chicago Fire FC II (12-8-6-4, 46 points) fell 5-2 against Philadelphia Union II (13-5-8-5, 52 points) at Subaru Park on Sunday afternoon. Forward Jason Shokalook recorded a late brace to become MLS NEXT Pro's leading goal scorer with 17 goals.

The hosts pounced on the counter in the 16th minute, with Stas Korzeniowski breaking away from the Fire defense to open the scoring. In a carbon copy of the opening goal, Sal Olivas got on the end of a Cavan Sullivan pass to double the lead five minutes after the first.

Philadelphia continued to follow the script in the second half, adding a pair more via transition and one on a penalty kick by Sullivan. But Chicago earned a penalty kick of its own as the clock wound down, which Shokalook scored following the initial save. As stoppage time wrapped up, the forward scored his league-leading 17th goal of 2025 on a looping header off a David Poreba cross to end the match.

NEXT MATCH: Chicago Fire FC II will play its regular season home finale against Atlanta United 2 on Sunday, Sept. 28 at SeatGeek Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. CT. The match is free to attend and view on MLSNEXTPro.com.
