Chicago, in which Switzerland's Xherdan Shaqiri made his debut with some good personal moves, but without reward, tasted the lead at the end of the first half when Ivanov hit the crossbar.
Also making his debut was former Philadelphia Union player Kacper Przybylko, who was unable to help his team win but shows great promise in attack alongside the Swiss.
Pato, a former Milan, and Chelsea player, among others, made his debut with a goal, after scoring once in just four games last season.
On the other hand, Peruvian international Pedro Gallese, Orlando City's goalkeeper, kept a clean sheet. In his three seasons in MLS, Gallese has never conceded on the opening day of the season, and only Joe Bendik has managed to do so more times, with four.
