Summary

Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire - the winningest MLS team in US Open Cup history - advanced to the Round of 16 after a 2-1 victory over Detroit City FC. The Men in Red dominated the first half, and Jason Shokalook scored a brace in his first start for the Fire first team. However, a DCFC goal, a red card to Puso Dithejane, and a freight train all in the span of five minutes propelled the USL Championship side to nearly equalizing. In what was a chaotic second half, the Fire survive and advance to take on St. Louis City SC in the next round.

Nick also previews the upcoming match against FC Cincinatti. He predicts a draw, but notes that both teams have lots of roster questions due to injuries and the defenses may be prone to lapses. Cincy will also be without key player Kevin Denkey, who will be serving a red card suspension. Can the Fire take advantage and extend their win streak to four matches?
