Chicago Fire midfielder Fabian Herbers inked his name in Fire history on Tuesday night, scoring the opening goal in the Club’s long-awaited return to Soldier Field en route to a 3-0 victory over FC Cincinnati.
With his second-minute finish, the 27-year-old became the first Fire player to score a regular season goal at Soldier Field since Jesse Marsch did it against Columbus Crew SC on Oct. 8, 2005 - nearly 15 years ago.
“On social media, they wrote that I made history, but I'm just happy to help the team, that we got an early goal, got ahead and got those three points,” he told media postgame.
