BRIDGEVIEW, Ill., Aug. 17 (UPI) -- The Chicago Fire logged its sixth Major League Soccer win of the season Wednesday upsetting the Kansas City Wizards, 3-0 at Toyota Park.

Nate Jaqua, Chad Barrett and Justin Mapp each scored, giving Chicago 25 points and a three-way tie for third place in the Eastern Division standings with the Wizards and New York Red Bulls.

Jaqua opened the scoring in the 25th minute, before Barrett and Mapp added extra insurance in the second half. It was Mapp's first goal of the season and 10th overall.

Wednesday's match marked the fourth and final encounter between the two teams this season. They first played to a draw before each club earned a one-goal victory on their own turf.
