With Saturday night’s last-minute thriller, the Chicago Fire have taken 7 of the last 9 points possible and find themselves only 3 points from the playoff line in the Eastern Conference.
So, what did we learn Saturday night?
I was critical of Basti as a central midfielder earlier this year, but since the move back to center back he’s been one of the Fire’s most consistent and reliable players, competing at an All-star level and giving this team a lot more confidence to play out of the back. Saturday night he showed that even from the central defense, he can win games like no one else on this roster can.
