The Chicago Fire’s long trek toward the offseason makes a pit stop in the Bronx on Friday night, as the Men in Red will face off against New York City FC. It’ll be the third and final time these teams will face one another this season - though one can be forgiven if they memory wiped away the atrocity that was their 0-0 draw the last time they played nearly six months ago. The match begins at 7 p.m. central time and airs on UniMas.
The Opponent:
After a disastrous inaugural season that saw them tied for second-to-last in the conference, NYCFC have righted the ship and now find themselves tied for second in the Eastern Conference.
