The Chicago Fire were dumped out of the U.S. Open Cup by the USL League One champions, Union Omaha. A pair of penalties from Rafael Czichos gave the Fire the lead twice, but the visitors pulled it back both times and won in the shootout. There were some bright spots, but the Fire were, quite frankly, not very impressive.
