Robert Beriu0107 was in the middle of a long goal scoring drought.
The Chicago Fire had just been played off the field by the Crew in Columbus. The Fire arrived back at Soldier Field trying to sort out a lot of issues, but there was one big glimmer of hope—they were at home for a midweek game against FC Cincinnati.
Fabian Herbers scored in the second minute of that match on August 25, 2020, the Fire went on to win 3-0, and the win over Cincinnati kicked off a decent run for Chicago—they’d go on to win three more games, before going winless in their final six, missing the playoffs by one point.
