It was a rough night for Sergio Oregel. Jonathan Bamba is as advertised and Brian Gutierrez had an eventful night. A healthy Kouame solves the Oregel issue and Leonardo Borroso should start next week too. They need to build on the positives. #cf97 #CLBvsCHI

I won't say I'm not disappointed. But the players who made the errors that led to goals were for the most part the players you'd think would have made the errors. #cf97 #CLBvsCHI

They're still attacking and they're still following the system and finding success. #cf97 #CLBvsCHI

Tom Barlow is not skilled enough. That was a good cross from Dean wasted. #cf97 #CLBvsCHI

Bamba wanted Zinkernagel to shoot that. After his shot went just wide, he started telling him to push forward. #cf97 #CLBvsCHI

Zinkernagel took a heavy touch back towards his own net and that's what killed him. #cf97 #CLBvsCHI

That's the second time the Fire have been caught out in the middle. Both times they were new players to the league. 4-2. #cf97 #CLBvsCHI

I really need Barlow to stay between the two center backs. He doesn't have the skill to cut in from wide. #cf97 #CLBvsCHI

Cuypers could only go 45. Barlow checks in. #cf97 #CLBvsCHI

I feel for Oregel. He's getting thrown into the deep end at the position that has the most responsibility on the pitch. #cf97 #CLBvsCHI

Halftime. A lot of good. A lot of This is a team still learning how to play how the new manager wants. The moment seems a little too big for Oregel and Dean. #cf97 #CLBvsCHI

Nancy made a tweak and the Fire are on the back foot. Remember the Columbus Crew are good. #cf97 #CLBvsCHI

Chicago Fire have conceded two equalizers in less than 40 minutes, MLS is actually more back than we ever could have imagined

Columbus scores after the Fire defense hustles too hard. Brady has to be more assertive there.

Bamba and Guti run into each other because Guti isn't used to a player being able to split two defenders like that. #cf97 #CLBvsCHI

This is brilliant. Bamba gets the ball wide again and Cuypers gets a shot off. Shulte made the save off of a deflection. But still. #cf97 #CLBvsCHI

What impressed me is the Fire got right back on it after giving up the equalizer. There was no head hanging or anything. #cf97 #CLBvsCHI

Gutman releases Bamba after winning the ball and he finds Gutierrez at the top of the box who slots it passed Shulte. Zinkernagel made a dummy run to create space, too. Fantastic all around. #cf97 #CLBvsCHI

This is good. The Fire are playing themselves in the game. They've won the ball in Columbus's half a couple of times and GUTIERREZ SCORES! #cf97 #CLBvsCHI
