Chicago Fire joined the Eastern Conference fray after a second-half cruise past Orlando City this evening.
Early second-half goals from USMNT youngster Brian Gutiérrez, and Hugo Cuypers fired the hosts into the lead after a limp opening 45 minutes.
Orlando certainly pushed to find a way back into the affair, but Chris Brady made a handful of superb saves to keep Chicago ahead and push them on towards qualification.
A Hugo Cuypers dagger past the hour mark alleviated any Chicago doubts, securing his brace and the Fire’s spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs opening round.
Gregg Berhalter’s side will square off with Supporters Shield winners Philadelphia Union.
Still to come
