There was a lot of fanfare surrounding the last matchup between the Columbus Crew and Chicago Fire. After all, it was the debut of new Black & Gold signing Cucho Hernández and featured a two-goal Columbus comeback, with Hernández putting the icing on the cake with a match-winning goal in the 83rd minute.
Since then, both teams have gone down different roads. On Saturday, the old Eastern Conference rivals meet once again at Lower.com Field.
