Chicago Fire FC vs. New York Red Bulls ｜ Full Match Highlights ｜ Battle in the Windy City!

We know how Red Bull like to attack and they like to press, so Saletros is going to be important in settling that midfield down, also connecting the back to the front, Waterman getting a start. The organizational aspect with anything that is thrown his way, Mamedy the youngster in the midfield has been fantastic, and you talk about Emil Forsberg. Show on the road from Chicago, this Mother's Day weekend. Happy Mother's Day to all the soccer moms out there, including our own. The final ball was not, but Saletros will run it down. Zinkernagel with Kuypers, and Bamba in! But the flag comes up, even though the Soldier Field faithful erupts. The movement by Kuypers, we talked about it in the open, making that run to the near post, he gets a touch on it, or is it the defender? Tim Parker's position, just a shade behind, has helped in all aspects of the field for Chicago. Anton Saletros, hangs one up, out of there from Vollender, a pop back over by Elliott, who puts himself in a good position, Forsberg, forging ahead for Cowell, Cade Cowell's got speed to burn, and curls one right at Brady, the one thing Cade Cowell is hoping to break out on, keeping things stabilized here at Soldier Field so far. Up for Zinkernagel, who wants to catch Horvath creeping forward. Ball back in possession now for Donkor, and the pace of Cade Cowell, back for Forsberg, with a great look, and forks a wild one, Emil Forsberg, who couldn't get it around. They needed to make a change, you'd think they at least want to get to halftime now in the 44th minute of the match, if they decide to make a sub or a change. Bamba, Drew Parker, and Zinkernagel spears it at Horvath. Chicago has been down that right hand side, and just, great little cushion there from Bamba, to bring it down, and lay it off. Glides around with Bamba keeping an eye, and Metzi, Forsberg, who will come on! Gorgeous, George keeps it going on the score sheet for the Red Bulls, who lead 1-0 before halftime. All day long, but it's the patience here, not the pressure, the pressure doesn't come quick enough. Forsberg drives it into the top of the 18 and finds the pass, look at Rubicava, he opens up his hips, he eyes it all the way, Waterman doesn't get close enough to put enough pressure on the ball, and he steers it into the back post, a clever little one-touch to set himself up for his own shot. Fourth goal, a comparable resume in the likes of his days in the Bundesliga, capped at Bayern Munich. Eric Schupel-Moting, we step into the second half, he's set some false hope and expectations with Saletros looking for that seeing eye pass, Kindre, the way the Red Bulls started with this young group, because they knew they were going to probably take their licks at some point, wanting to work around it, with Cowell bursting in! The cheetah has arrived in New York, Cade Cowell's first for the Bulls, who lead it 2-0. ...set up his teammates, this time he makes the right run at the right time, Donkor releases there a couple nice touches across the grain, into the traffic, and Cowell knows, I've got to make the run on the inside, he reads the play all the way, gets one touch around, and finishes, doesn't try to take an extra one, he knows he's got to bury it one time with Chris Brady, trying to come off his line, and block the edge. Get a look at the personnel at the bottom, Haile Selassie camps under the ball from Davila, Zinkernagel floats, Kuipers is wide open, Nielis, what a play to come over! Kuipers, thought he was going to continue that goal-scoring streak. Great touch there by Haile Selassie to bring that ball down, and you see Zinkernagel eyeing it. In tight, Davila! Whirls one around as Haile Selassie fell, the threats keep coming for Chicago. Chicago on the front foot, and that attacking third of the field, off that throw-in, asking the questions of this Red Bull defense and midfield. All the numbers, great little run in behind, nobody tracks the runner or communicates to Forsberg that Saletros is coming. Davila, it's that long range, that step, critical to keeping it alive. Flight across for Kuipers, Hugo Kuipers! Pumps one off Horvath, and Parker, dusts it off. It's a great switch field from Zinkernagel, he'd become a little bit predictable in some of his passes, but this one was spot on and perfect. And some of that is because of... Parker, good layoff, Donkor, Berggren, Cowell! The rebound came off of Brady, and nicked over. Waterman gets there in the nick of time, to knock this one over the goalpost. Tupou Moteng is waiting, he stays in an outside position, he's there for the rebound, and Waterman comes at the last second. Dean from Saletros, Ditejan, the South African, look at this move! Oh my goodness, what a clearance! Greg Berhalter telling us, who's so electric, 1v1, look at that wide space challenge, all the way to central, and he's curled that to the side netting and the back post. Off the defender. Second corner of the second half for New York. Cowell, rockets it high, headed down by Niles! Turn and fire, wide off the end boards. That's a sloppy play toward Waterman. Berggren, puts his foot on the gas, Mameti, and Berggren team up on Davila, and Brady is out, with a cartwheel around him by Mameti. As Chris Brady forced off his line. Alan Chapman will head to the monitor for a look to see if Chris Brady did indeed foul Andre Mameti, setting up a Red Bull potential penalty. After Brady had come off his line, could he have gotten to the next one if he hadn't been taken down with the contact there? It does go out in front, but it doesn't negate the contact that's made on the player in the box. As Alan Chapman thinks so, here's the call. After review, title number one trips the Red Bull player. Wild decision, it's a penalty. Gold this season, it was back in March 17 a year ago. Stands to face Brady! Rifles it in! The man with the hyphen leads the celebration for the Red Bulls, who go on 3-0. Second week in a row Chris Brady's faced a penalty. This one, he comes off his line and tries to make a play. Instead, call reverse. Chupo Motin steps to the spot and makes no bones about this one to the side netting. The quality he has on the ball and in the finish. Turnover by Haile Selassie. Up the wing, Rafael Mascara. Mascara! Rocket of a shot, but well off the mark. Zinkernagel, or a hell. Shown really well, especially playing a lot of minutes last season, but he's learning now. Desjardins and Kuipers confuse it! If indeed Hugo, it's eight in a row with a goal, 3-1. And no pressure comes to the ball. Michael Bradley is yelling, who's next? Two step into the ball. Nobody steps quick enough and the ball bounces around the box. And it's Hugo Kuipers, just continuing on with force. Right by Dylan Eelis, who's been fantastic all day long. And Horvath can't make the second save. Young bulls this and young bulls that. There have been a lot of those plays today. Cowell, Wilcaba, influential action. But there's still room for the old guard of New York, who came in along that back line. And Shubhal Moting to help provide the third goal.
