Chicago Fire homegrown player Jeremiah Gutjahr made his debut and first start on Saturday against the New York Red Bulls. Jorge Corrales and Raheem Edwards were both be out of commission and will be for the next few games, so Gutjahr was asked to step in. Being asked to play a completely new position in his very first professional minutes was likely intimidating, but it shows that Head Coach Veljko Paunovic has confidence in Gutjahr.
Gutjahr looked as if he was instructed to play as a stay-at-home left back.
