Storied rivals reconvene Saturday night at MAPFRE Stadium as both clubs are set to renew their hate for one another.
Columbus Crew SC and the Chicago Fire last met at MAPFRE Stadium for the first match of the 2017 season on March 4th. The match tied at 1-1, and the meeting told us little about each club and where they were heading in the season.
The next contest took place in Bridgeview just five weeks later. It was the second match for their newly signed Designated Player Bastian Schweinsteiger. Despite some criticism of the signing, Schweinsteiger’s game against a talented Crew SC side proved that the 33 year old still has gas in the tank.
