Fire20: Oh No Oshoniyi

Related Topics: MLS Cup, Bob Bradley

Welcome to Fire20, a new weekly series that celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Chicago Fire Soccer Club by making deep dives into the team’s history. This week we look back at a resounding blowout win over Kansas City in 2001.

The 2000 season for the Fire was capped off with an exhilarating (err, sort of) 2-1 win in U.S. Open Cup final.

I say sort of, well, because the Fire won that open cup final one week after losing the MLS Cup to Kansas City. Don’t get me wrong, the Men in Red were more than happy to walk away with their third major title in as many seasons.
