Things continue to get worse in Chicago. The Chicago Fire have already been eliminated from the 2019 Leagues Cup, falling 2-0 at home to Cruz Azul in the quarterfinal stage of the tournament. The contest might’ve taken place at SeatGeek Stadium, but the stands were packed by fans of the Mexican side, who finally got to see their team play in person.
The Liga MX representative took the lead on the stroke of halftime. Elias Hernandez latched onto a bouncing ball in the penalty area, flicking it up and smashing it into the back of the net.
