Although Chicago's "Fire" played against Montreal's "Impact" last night in a 2-2 draw, the new club star Bastian Schweinsteiger has already sent a serious warning to opponents by scoring his first goal in his debut match. The German led his team forward in the 17th minute after a pass from David Accam. However, later they conceded two goals and the "Fire" footballers were able to rescue only thanks to a precise strike from Luis Solignac. The 32-year-old defender enjoyed a successful debut, but he wanted to achieve more than just a point. "It was a great feeling," Schweinsteiger said. "Perfect pass from David from the flank, header. It was a good feeling, but I am a bit disappointed because we couldn't win the match." The German also added that playing the full 90 minutes on the field after a long time on the bench at Manchester United was not easy. "It's not easy. I arrived here four or five days ago, but everything is fine, I was really prepared," Schweinsteiger said. "Training here was very good, so I will definitely work on my physical fitness so I have more strength, I can bring more energy to the matches, but overall I am satisfied." "Everything was good, but everyone can improve."
