COLUMBUS CREW vs CHICAGO FIRE COLUMBUS CREW STADIUM, Columbus, Ohio Sept. 21, 2013 (WEEK 30, MLS Game #275) 7:30 p.m. ET (FS-OH; My50 Chi) The Columbus Crew and the Chicago Fire meet in a crucial match for the postseason fortunes of both clubs when the Eastern Conference rivals face off Saturday evening at Crew Stadium. The Crew come into the weekend four points behind the Fire for fifth place and the final playoff position, after their 2-1 come-from-behind win at Montréal last weekend. The Fire reached the top five for the first time this season after coming back for a 3-2 home win vs. the New England Revolution. REFEREE: Juan Guzman.

Jeff Larentowicz scored in the 83rd minute to give the Fire a 1-0 win on April 20 at Toyota Park, then Dilly Duka and Mike Magee netted goals two minutes apart in a 2-1 Chicago win June 22 in Columbus.  The teams also played in a weather-delayed U.S. Open Cup fourth-round match at Toyota Park, the Fire taking a 2-1 victory on June 13.  The Crew haven’t won at Toyota Park since the 2006 season. In the 11 meetings since in Bridgeview, the Fire have won six, with four draws.  Coaches record: Brian Bliss vs. CHI: P1 W0 L1 T0 … Frank Klopas vs. CLB: P7 W6 L1 T0 LAST MEETING (MLS)  The Crew were staked to an early lead. Dominic Oduro stripped defender Austin Berry and dribbled into the box, but goalkeeper Sean Johnson got a piece of Oduro as he tried to round. Federico Higuaín promptly converted from the penalty spot by drilling the ball under Johnson's outstretched left arm.  But the Fire took control with two goals in three minutes shortly after the second-half restart. In the 52nd minute, Dilly Duka tied the match by getting past defender Josh Williams at the far post and getting his foot onto a service from the left flank by Joel Lindpere.  The game-winner then came in the 54th minute when Mike Magee beat Williams to chest home a Lindpere cross from the left corner to extend his goal streak since joining the Fire to six games in all competitions.  COLUMBUS CREW (4-4-1-1): Andy Gruenebaum - Chad Barson (Justin Meram 88), Josh Williams, Chad Marshall, Tyson Wahl - Bernardo Anor, Danny O'Rourke, Matias Sanchez (Aaron Schoenfeld 80), Jairo Arrieta - Federico Higuain - Dominic Oduro.  CHICAGO FIRE (4-4-2): Sean Johnson - Jalil Anibaba, Bakary Soumare, Austin Berry, Gonzalo Segares - Dilly Duka, Daniel Paladini, Logan Pause (Jeff Larentowicz 26), Joel Lindpere (Patrick Nyarko 70) - Chris Rolfe (Maicon Santos 59), Mike Magee. COLUMBUS CREW The Columbus Crew put an end to their club-record road losing streak, coming back for a 2-1 win against the Montréal Impact on Saturday afternoon at Stade Saputo. The Crew are in eighth place in the Eastern Conference with 35 points from 29 matches.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

LAST MATCH  The Impact took the lead at the game's quarter mark. A Justin Mapp short corner made its way into the six-yard box, where an onrushing Marco Di Vaio powered between two Crew defenders to head home from close range.  But the Crew were able to pull even in the 66th minute. Federico Higuain curled a free kick roughly 35 yards away from goal to the far post, where Chad Marshall outjumped a defender and crashed his header past Impact goalkeeper Troy Perkins.  Columbus then scored the stunning game-winner in the 78th minute. Higuain cleverly got past a Montreal defender and flicked a through ball with the outside of his right foot to Oduro. One-on-one against Perkins, Oduro took a subtle first-time touch and watched the ball trickle into the Montreal goal.  Crew interim head coach Brian Bliss made four changes to the team that fell 3-0 to Sporting Kansas City at Sporting Park. Agustin Viana, Tony Tchani, Federico Higuain and Jairo Arrieta all came into the team, in place of Eric Gehrig, Ethan Finlay, Justin Meram and Ryan Finley.  COLUMBUS CREW (4-1-3-1-1): Matt Lampson - Chad Barson, Tyson Wahl, Chad Marshall, Agustin Viana Wil Trapp - Dominic Oduro, Tony Tchani (Kevan George 84), Bernardo Anor (Justin Meram 86) - Federico Higuain - Jairo Arrieta (Ethan Finlay 75). TEAM NEWS  The win in Montréal put an end to the Crew’s losing streak on the road after seven games, the longest in the club’s 19-year history. The previous long was six, set on three occasions, last in 2003. The Crew had last gotten a result on the road in their 2-2 draw at New York on May 26.  “When you're down in the standings, this was ultra-critical, I think, in our push to make a playoff spot,” Crew interim head coach Brian Bliss said. “We've put some pressure on some teams that are slightly above us, so it's uplifting in that regard.”  Chad Marshall scored his first goal of the season, his first goal since last Sept. 1 – when he also scored vs. Montréal.  “I hadn't scored prior in the season. I've been unfortunate to have some line clearances and stuff, so it was obviously nice to get us back in the game and tie it up, especially because I had a part in their goal with a miscommunication with Matt [Lampson],” Marshall said. “So it felt good to get that goal and get us back even.”  Dominic Oduro netted a goal for the first time since July 27, going seven matches without a goal, though he now has the sole team lead with 10.  Federico Higuaín recorded a pair of assists for the first time this season, his first assists since July 7. He had a pair of two-assist games in his first MLS season, both coming in his first five MLS games.  “It was one of the goals that was a relief. We were doing the right thing, we were knocking on the door, and it was just a matter of when,” said Oduro. “I would give my goal for the team to get three points. That's exactly what we needed. I wouldn't say I got the monkey off my chest, but it's something like that. Higuain sent me a great ball that I was able to put in the net so I’m happy I scored but I’m more grateful that we got three points on the road.”  Higuaín returned to the lineup after missing three consecutive match, the first two through suspension then the Sporting KC match with an adductor strain.  Tony Tchani made his first start in a league game since June 5, coming into the center of midfield and playing 86 minutes.  “That’s why you have 30 guys on your roster and you rely on guys to fill the holes when your regular guys are out. We’ve asked guys to fill in roles and play different spots and to their credit, the guys have stood up to the test for the most part when we’ve asked them to go in there,” said Bliss. CHICAGO FIRE The Chicago Fire snapped their three-game winless run, coming back for a 3-2 victory against the New England Revolution on Saturday evening at Toyota Park. The Fire are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference with 39 points from 28 matches. LAST MATCH  The Revolution took the lead in the ninth minute when Kelyn Rowe hit a looping shot from 25 yards that found its way over Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson and into the back of the net.  The Fire were level on the half-hour as Joel Lindpere found Juan Luis Anangonó at the edge of the penalty area, and his low shot beat goalkeper Bobby Shuttlesworth.  The visitors again took the lead just before the halftime break when Dimitry Imbongo found Saer Sene with a through pass on the left side of the box, and he beat Johnson with a left-footed shot.  But the Fire again pulled even 10 minutes after the restart when Patrick Nyarko found Mike Magee at the right side of the penalty area on a give-and-go -- helped by a shielding dummy from Anangonó -- and Magee slotted home from close range.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



The game-winner came four minutes from the end. A Chicago corner kick was half-cleared by New England, and Alex collected at the top of the Revs box before stroking a low shot through a crowd of bodies and into the lower corner of the goal.  Fire head coach Frank Klopas made three changes to the team that gained a 1-1 draw with Toronto FC at BMO Field. Joel Lindpere, Arevalo Rios and Juan Luis Anangono came into the side, in place of Dilly Duka, Alex and Chris Rolfe.  CHICAGO FIRE (4-4-2): Sean Johnson - Jalil Anibaba, Bakary Soumare, Austin Berry, Gonzalo Segares Patrick Nyarko (Alex 83), Arevalo Rios, Jeff Larentowicz, Joel Lindpere (Dilly Duka 63) - Mike Magee, Juan Luis Anangono (Quincy Amarikwa 71). TEAM NEWS  The Fire put an end to their winless run after three games, their longest such streak since going four matches without a triumph April 27-May 25.  For the first time this season, the Fire find themselves in the top five in the Eastern Conference and in a playoff position.  “We had a slow start with some of the injuries. I just think that the team never gave up. We fought hard. The changes we made helped on and off the field,” said Klopas. “The group has the right mentality. You want to be right there in the end and we are right there, so there is a lot to play for. We are very excited to be in the position. The guys have earned it with all the hard work. We are not happy where we are but it is a step to where we want to be.”  Said Mike Magee: “This is probably our third chance at trying to get a win and move into the top five, it’s nice to get that weight off of our back after all the work we’ve done just to put ourselves into a top five spot. To get over the hump is a big step.”  Making his second MLS start, his first in the last five matches, since Aug. 17, Juan Luis Anangono scored his first goal since coming to the Fire.  “I think that the one goal, he took very well, his movement off the ball was great and then he finished, and then he had a couple of opportunities, and I think he's only going to get better,” Klopas said. “Then I think, in any new environment, [it takes time] to adjust to the lifestyle, to get comfortable. Every game, every day, every week in training he's been getting better and better.”  Magee remained in second place in the MLS Golden Boot standings, scoring his 16th goal of the season and his second in the last three matches.  “[Anangono] was involved in a big way. His goal was huge to tie it up the first time and helped on my goal tied it up the second time,” said Magee. “He put his body in front of a defender who was just going to clear, to shield it just so I have a chance. If he doesn’t do that I’m not scoring a goal. He was great today.”  After four games in the starting lineup, Alex came off the substitutes’ bench vs. New England, and capped his seven-minute shift with his first goal of the season, almost exactly a year since his last MLS goal (Sept. 15 vs. Montréal).  “Alex obviously gives us a lot in possession, but he is also very good in tight areas. All of the subs and all the players on the field did fantastic tonight,” said Klopas. Said Jeff Larentowicz: “Alex didn't start tonight, but he came on and he helped the team, and he helped the team in a big way. He deserves all the credit, it was a great goal.”

GAME 30: COLUMBUS CREW VS. CHICAGO FIRE

MISCELLANEOUS TEAM NOTES MATCH RECAP -- GAME 29 CREW STUNS FIRST-PLACE MONTREAL WITH COMEBACK ROAD WIN The Crew earned a thrilling 2-1 come-from-behind victory over the Eastern Conference-leading Montreal Impact on September 14. After conceding a 23rd-minute goal to MLS leading scorer Marco Di Vaio, the Crew recorded two unanswered strikes in the second half to seal the valuable win. Chad Marshall sparked the Crew’s comeback in the 63rd minute with a header from a Federico Higuain free kick, the defender’s first goal of 2013. Higuain added his second assist of the contest – and team-best eighth of the season – on Dominic Oduro’s match-winner in the 78th minute. Higuain’s cross to the Ghanaian forward was enough to secure victory, while also giving Oduro his team-leading 10th strike of the 2013 campaign.

ONE LAST GUST OF THE WINDY CITY Saturday’s match against the Chicago Fire is the third and final regular-season meeting between the two clubs in the Eastern Conference ... Chicago defeated Columbus, 2-1, in the most recent meeting at Crew Stadium on June 22 after opening the year with a 1-0 win over the Crew on April 20 at Toyota Park ... this is the 50th regularseason meeting in the all-time season series between the two teams dating back to 1998 ... Chicago holds the all-time series lead with a 24-12-13 record and the Black & Gold are 7-10-6 in Columbus against the Fire. LAST MEETING The Crew fell to Eastern Conference rival Chicago Fire on June 22 at Crew Stadium. The Fire completed a second-half comeback behind goals from former Crew midfielder Dilly Duka and forward Mike Magee. In the seventh minute, Captain Federico Higuain converted the penalty – his fifth strike of the season – but it was not enough to capture a win.

BLACK & GOLD NOTES COACHES Brian Bliss (6-5-6, Interim w/ KC in ‘06, Crew Interim Sept. 2, 2013 - Present) vs. Frank Klopas (36-27-22, ‘11-Present) CREW STADIUM EVENTS ON SATURDAY Saturday’s match at Crew Stadium celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month as the Crew teamed up with Lifeline of Ohio/Done Vida to present ¡Viva el Fútbol! ... pre-match activities include: authentic food from La Michoacana Mexican Market, a kid’s piñata station, traditional dances from the children of Centro Esperanza Latina, live music from Victor Zancudo, Mariachis Aguilas de Mexico will be roaming the tailgates in the parking lot and the first 10,000 fans through the gates will receive a cinch sack courtesy of Lifeline of Ohio ... more information on Saturday’s events at Crew Stadium can be found at TheCrew.com/September21. RESERVES SET SUNDAY AT OBETZ The Crew Reserves will play their 13th match of 2013 on Sunday at 10:00 a.m. ET at the team’s training facility at Obetz ... the Black & Gold Reserves (5-6-1, 16 points) take on the Fire Reserves (3-6-0, 9 points) as the Crew comes off a 3-0 defeat at Montreal last Saturday following the first-team victory over Montreal earlier in the afternoon. END OF A TREND Last Saturday’s 2-1 victory snapped a recent trend of scorelines that either helped or plagued the Black & Gold for a six-week span ... from August 10 through September 7, the Crew played to six shutout results ... on August 10 and August 17, the Black & Gold kept the Red Bulls and Toronto FC off of the scoreboard respectively in 2-0 wins ... then, a two-match losing streak saw a reversal of goal-scoring fortune as the Crew was shut-out 4-0 on August 24 at Real Salt Lake and a 1-0 loss to Seattle on August 31 ... the streak continued as the Crew defeated Houston, 2-0, on September 4 before a 3-0 defeat at Sporting KC on September 7 ... that trend seemed likely to continue with the Impact up 1-0 last Saturday before a pair of second-half goals gave the Crew a 2-1 win. COMEBACK KIDS ... The Black & Gold’s 2-1 win over Eastern Conference-leading Montreal did more than just put the Crew back in the hunt for playoff contention ... the win accomplished something the club had been unable to do all season: win after its opponent scored the match’s opening goal ... prior to last Saturday, the Crew was 0-11-3 in 2013 after conceding the opening strike, giving the Crew its first comeback win of 2013. ... AND A LITTLE LATE-GAME MAGIC Dominic Oduro’s game-winning goal in the 78th minute on Saturday at Montreal sealed a 2-1 win for the Black & Gold and also provided some much needed late-game magic for the Crew ... Oduro’s goal was the team’s first game-winning or game-tying goal after the 75th minute in 2013 ... in a welcomed change with respect to goals of that nature in the final 15 minutes, the Crew had previously allowed six game-winning goals against and three game-tying goals against already in 2013. SOMETHING IN THE HALFTIME SPEECH Whatever Interim Head Coach Brian Bliss said in the halftime locker room in Montreal last Saturday clearly worked ... with his club down 1-0 to the Eastern Conferenceleading Impact, Bliss’ Crew scored a pair of goals in the second 45 to give the Crew a 2-1 win ... the victory was the Crew’s first of the season when trailing at halftime ... previously, the club was 0-8-2 overall when trailing at half, including a frustrating 0-60 record when trailing after the first 45 minutes on the road. THE FIGHT FOR THE POSTSEASON With five matches remaining, the Crew remains in the hunt for the playoffs this year with hopes to return to postseason play after an absence in 2012 ... of the five remaining matches, four of the tilts are against Eastern Conference opponents, including a crucial home-and-home series with New England to wrap-up the year ... the club’s lone Western Conference match is next Sunday at FC Dallas. SIX-POINT SWING SATURDAY The Crew (10-14-5, 35 points) enters Saturday’s match just four points behind the Chicago Fire (11-11-6, 39 points) as Chicago currently holds the fifth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference standings ... the crucial six-point swing on Saturday allows the Crew a chance gain ground in the East before playing its lone remaining out-of-conference clash next Sunday at FC Dallas.

GAME 30: COLUMBUS CREW VS. CHICAGO FIRE FOURTH TIME’S THE CHARM? The Crew and Fire battle on Saturday in the fourth meeting between the two teams this year and third overall regular-season contest of 2013 ... the Fire knocked the Crew out of the 2013 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in a Fourth Round 2-1 affair on Thursday June 13 before another 2-1 Fire win on June 22 in Columbus ... the Fire opened the regular-season series with a 1-0 victory on April 20 in Chicago, giving the Fire a 2-0-0 edge in the regular-season series and a trio of wins overall against the Black & Gold in 2013. SEEING BOTH SIDES OF THE RIVALRY... Since 1998, 16 players have suited-up for both the Crew and the Fire in their careers ... the list includes: Brian McBride, Ante Razov, Jon Busch, Dominic Oduro, Dilly Duka, Matt Chulis, Leonard Griffin, Andy Herron, Richie Kotschau, Manny Lagos, Brian Plotkin (never played for Crew but was rostered), Tony Sanneh, Tim Ward, Andy Williams and John Wolyniec. ... ODURO’S HOUSEWARMING PARTY ON SATURDAY On Saturday, Crew forward Dominic Oduro gets a chance to host the team that traded him to the Black & Gold in February ... Oduro scored 18 goals in 66 matches for the Fire in 2011 and 2012 ... while with the Fire, he recorded one goal in five appearances against the Crew ... the 28-year-old also made five appearances and recorded one assist against the Crew while a member of FC Dallas (2006-2008) and made two appearances against Columbus while with Houston from 2009-2010. AND THAT’S TEN FOR DOM After sitting on nine goals since July 27 at Toronto, Dominic Oduro bagged his 10th goal of the season last Saturday in Montreal -- the game-winner -- in a 2-1 win over the Impact ... Oduro returns to the top of the club leaderboard for goals this season, passing Federico Higuain (nine goals), who dished the assist -- his first of two on the day -- on Oduro’s tap-in goal in the 78th ... Oduro is now two goals shy of tying his career-high mark of 12 goals with Chicago in 2011. ONE-GOAL GAMES ARE BECOMING A THEME IN CREW-FIRE TILTS The previous seven regular-season meetings between the longtime rivals have resulted in one-goal matches, providing plenty of drama in regular-season play ... Chicago is 6-1-0 in the current span, with the Black & Gold securting a 2-1 win on May 26, 2012 at Crew Stadium ... the teams played to a 2-1 finish in Columbus when the two clubs last met on June 22 ... if you add the Fourth Round match in the 2013 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup from June 13 -- a 2-1 win for Chicago -- that one-goal trend extends to eight matches. NOT ALLOWING MUCH FROM THE FIRE Chicago may have the Crew’s number in the last six overall regular-season meetings (6-1-0) but the Black & Gold have been solid at home against their rivals, securing points in four of the last six meetings at Crew Stadium (2-2-2) dating back to 2008 ... in those six meetings, Chicago has been held to one goal in three of the last four meetings at Crew Stadium dating back to 2010. ANDY UPGRADED After missing the last nine matches with left shoulder weakness, there is positive news on the injury front for Andy Gruenebaum ... Gruenebaum was upgraded to “questionable” this week after being listed as “out” ... Gruenebaum started the first 20 matches of 2013 and Matt Lampson made his ninth overall start and eighth consecutive go in net in Gruenebaum’s place ... Lampson has four shutouts this season, tying him with Gruenebaum for the club lead in cleansheets ... Lampson’s fourth career shutout tied the 24-year-old ‘keeper for eighth on the club’s all-time list for shutouts, joining Bill Gaudette and Juergen Sommer. A SIX PACK OF SAVES Matt Lampson earned the victory over the Montreal Impact last Saturday, and made a career-high six saves in the winning effort ... Lampson’s previous career high was four saves in his first start on August 29, 2012 at Philadelphia ... earlier this month, Lampson made three saves in the 2-0 shutout win over Houston at Crew Stadium on September 4. LAMPSON NAMED MLS WORKS HUMANITARIAN OF THE MONTH The Columbus Crew announced on September 12 that Homegrown Player and goalkeeper Matt Lampson has been named MLS WORKS Humanitarian of the Month for the month of September ... the Hilliard, Ohio native was honored for his work specifically as local spokesperson for – and efforts with – the Central Ohio Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Chapter after the 24-year-old triumphed over Stage 4 Hodgkin’s lymphoma six years ago ... “I don’t do this type of stuff for accolades, but it’s an honor to get regardless,” Lampson told MLSsoccer.com in a full feature (available at TheCrew.com). “I’m really proud of what I’ve been doing with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, so I’m just hoping that this raises even more awareness and that this brings even more eyes and ears to the cause.”

LAMPSON LENDS A (GREEN) HAND DURING MONTH OF SEPTEMBER Matt Lampson is teaming with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to raise awareness for the deadly disease … throughout the 2013 season -- and specifically in the month of September, which is blood cancer awareness month -- Lampson will wear custommade lime green goalkeeper’s gloves stamped with lime green ribbons, the symbol of lymphoma awareness … support Lampson’s cause on Twitter by using the hashtag #LampStrong and following the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (@llsusa). A PAIR OF PIPA HELPERS Federico Higuain returned to action after missing three matches (two due to suspension and one to an injury) and assisted on both of the Crew’s goals in the 2-1 win over Montreal … the assists were Higuain’s seventh and eighth helpers of 2013 ... Higuain’s pair of assists was his third multiple-assist effort of his career and first since September 1, 2012 against Montreal. THE BRIAN BLISS COACHING FILE Bliss began his coaching career in 1999, returning to Kansas City in 2000 as an Assistant Coach ... Bliss helped the Wizards capture the 2000 MLS Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup, along with the 2004 U.S. Open Cup ... he has served as an Interim Head Coach before, filling the role in Kansas City in July of 2006, securing points from 10 of the club’s remaining 14 matches during that campaign ... Bliss joined the Crew in 2008 during the Black & Gold’s Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup-winning campaign ... since then he has overseen all player personnel matters, player assessment and domestic and international scouting ... Bliss was instrumental in last year’s midseason signing of 2012 MLS Newcomer of the Year and the Crew’s second-ever Designated Player, Federico Higuain ... Bliss has also served as an Assistant Coach on the United States Under-20 squad since January 2012, and most recently was with the club during the team’s group stage appearance at the 2013 FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Turkey alongside frequent U-20 captain and Crew Homegrown Player Wil Trapp. CREW BLOOD DRIVE SATURDAY ... The American Red Cross will be hosting a blood drive in the Upper 90 Club at Crew Stadium on Friday ... all of those that donate during this event will receive pre-match field level access on Saturday, September 21 for the Chicago Fire match ... to make your appointment to donate, please call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit redcrossblood. org (Sponsor Code: Crew). ... & CREW SOCCER FOUNDATION SPORTS MEMORABILIA AUCTION The Crew Soccer Foundation will host its seventh annual Sports Memorabilia Auction in Kicker Plaza during the Crew match against the Chicago Fire on Saturday ... fans will have the chance to bid on and win more than 70 signed items from Crew players and sports stars around the world ... all proceeds will benefit Crew Soccer Foundation programming for at-risk youth.

BY THE NUMBERS 50 Saturday’s match marks the 50th regular-season meeting between the Crew and the Fire dating back to 1998. The Crew has secured points in 25 of those meetings, posting a 12-24-13 record. Interim Head Coach Brian Bliss did not face the Fire when with the Wizards as a player in 1998 but did see Chicago in his previous interim role with Kansas City in 2006, falling to the Fire in the lone meeting.

1 While all eyes in Crew Stadium were on witnessing a sold-out soccer crowd in Columbus on September 10, Central Ohio tuned in to the match in droves from its homes. Watching the 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifier, Columbus was the highest-rated market in the country for this game (5.1 rating) with Miami-Ft. Lauderdale was second with a 3.3 share. Overall, the match was the second-most viewed USMNT qualifier in ESPN history (2,243,000 viewers), and combined with the UniMas Spanish-language broadcast the match drew a combined audience of more than 7 million viewers – second only to the March 26, 2013 match between the USMNT and Mexico at Azteca.

3/8/39 Federico Higuain now leads the team with three game-winning assists in 2013. His seventh and eighth assists of the season were crucial, providing the game-tying and game-winning assists in a must-win affair in Montreal. In 39 career games for the Crew, Higuain has recorded 14 goals and 15 assists, with five game-winning goals and five game-winning assists.

Jeff Larentowicz headed home the 83rd minute game-winner as the Fire defeated the Crew 1-0 at Toyota Park on April 20. After Federico Higuain converted a seventh minute penalty kick, the Men in Red were led by second half goals from Dilly Duka and Mike Magee to earn the 2-1 road victory at Crew Stadium on June 22. The two sides also met in the fourth round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. After severe weather forced a one-day postponement, Mike Magee and Patrick Nyarko powered the Fire to a 2-1 victory June 13 at Toyota Park. The Crew enter the match after a 2-1 road victory against the Montreal Impact Saturday evening, ending the Impact’s six-game home unbeaten streak. QUICK KICKS vs. Columbus Crew The Chicago Fire hold a 24-12-13 regular season record against the Columbus Crew, including a 10-7-6 record in matches played in Columbus.

A LOOK AT THE FIRE The Chicago Fire (11-11-6, 36 pts.) enter their 16th season of MLS play after posting a 17-11-6 record, earning 57 points, tied with the 2000 season for the highest point total in club history.

Offseason acquisitions Jeff Larentowicz, Joel Lindpere, Maicon Santos and Dilly Duka bolster the roster for the Men in Red. Sean Johnson returns for his fourth campaign with the Fire. Reigning MLS Rookie of the Year Austin Berry will anchor the back line.
