  WHAT HAPPENED

  Chicago Stars forwards Ally Schlegel and Jameese Joseph took part in the Chicago Fire's "Sound the Alarm" pre-match ritual at Soldier Field. The NWSL players joined Fire supporters in the stadium and 20 minutes before kickoff, the two stars stepped onto the pitch, wielding the supporters' axe to shatter glass and activate the giant fire alarm, igniting the prematch spectacle. The ritual has become a cornerstone of the Fire Matchday experience.
