He connected on his second goal of the night in the 68th minute with a go-ahead shot to the bottom left corner to seal the win for the Fire (9-6-2), who played their first home match in over two months.
Pep Biel gave Charlotte (7-7-4) an early lead with a shot from the right side of the box on an ****** ist from Idan Toklomati.
Charlotte pushed for an equalizer late and earned a corner in stoppage time, but Chicago held on to preserve the one-goal lead.
