MONTCLAIR, N.J. - Chicago Fire FC II (11-6-5-3, 41 points) fell 1-0 to New York Red Bulls II (14-5-4-2, 48 points) at MSU Soccer Park in Montclair, New Jersey.

The Fire remain in fourth place in the Eastern Conference, just two points behind second and third place Huntsville SC and Philadelphia Union II, respectively. The result helped New York retain first place in the East and clinch a postseason berth.

The match was even until the hosts broke through in the 65th minute, when substitute Nate Worth sent a corner kick that Juan Gutiérrez snuck past the Chicago defense. Despite the goal, Chicago Fire II goalkeeper David Molenda finished the match with five saves to his credit.

NEXT MATCH: Chicago Fire FC II wraps up a two-game East Coast road trip with a match against New England Revolution II. Kickoff at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. is set for 2:00 p.m. CT and will be broadcast globally on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV.
