"The game between the two playoff-chasing sides leapt into life as Chicago scored two in quick succession inside the opening 10 minutes, as Jonathan Bamba opened the scoring for the hosts, before Philip Zinckernagel doubled the lead. After the interval, Chicago netted their third, as Hugo Cuypers found the bottom left-hand corner to make it 3-0 in the 68th minute."
"Meanwhile, in the West, second-half substitute Lucas Sanabria scored an equaliser for LA Galaxy in the ninth minute of injury time, having trailed Houston Dynamo 1-0 since the 35th minute. Despite Sanabria's goal keeping the Galaxy's playoff aspirations mathematically alive for another week, it is 10th-place Houston that will be kicking themselves having failed to make up ground on the sides above them."
"While a late revival from the Revolution looked possible after Peyton Miller reduced the arrears in the 78th minute, before Carles Gil converted from the spot in stoppage time, New England had left it too late. Chicago have now leapfrogged the New York Red Bulls to occupy ninth in the Eastern Conference. GOODNIGHT CHICAGO #cf97 pic.twitter.com/RjnA5POj8G - Chicago Fire FC (@ChicagoFire) September 7, 2025"
