A cross into the box from a Charlotte player was headed away by Chicago defenders and fell right in the lap of Cambridge, who finished the job and fooled the Chicago goalkeeper. The Fire claimed the lead in the 24th minute after Jairo Torres' feed was headed down by Shaqiri, allowing Navarro to unleash a left-footed shot. The ball skidded along the turf and past a diving Kahlina for Navarro's second goal of the season and first since June 29. Przybylko secured his brace after he settled a pass from Xherdan Shaqiri and deked Charlotte FC's Christian Fuchs to create some breathing room.

There was time for one more opportunity deep in second-half stoppage time, but this time center back Efrain Morales headed Almada's service wide of the left post. Then he picked out Giakoumakis' replacement, Daniel Rios, on the back post in the 85th minute, but Brady reacted superbly to deny Rios' close-range header. Then in the 31st minute, Brady dived to clearly push Saba Lobjanidze's dangerous header wide of the far post, but the play wasn't officially ruled a save.

Leading up to 2010, Chicago hired Carlos de los Cobos as head coach, previously manager of El Salvador.[9] Cuauhtémoc Blanco, Chris Rolfe and Gonzalo Segares all departed. More changes came in the summer transfer window with the trade of Justin Mapp to Philadelphia, the acquisition of Mexican international striker Nery Castillo, and the trade for former Swedish international midfielder Freddie Ljungberg. Defender Gonzalo Segares returned to the Fire, leaving Apollon Limassol after only six months away. Despite these reinforcements, the Fire failed to qualify for the playoffs for only the second time in club history. Brown retired at season's end, followed closely by the departures of Wilman Conde, Ljungberg, and Castillo.

The team's momentum continued, reaching the 2000 MLS Cup final (losing to Kansas City) and winning the 2000 U.S. Internationally experienced players such as Hristo Stoitchkov joined the Fire, while young American talents such as DaMarcus Beasley developed.

Then, deep into stoppage time, Swiderski crafted a wonderful half chance that found the back of the net to send the CLTFC bench and fans into pandemonium. However, that scenario hinges on Charlotte FC getting all three points over a Chicago team riding high from their 4-1 victory over Miami. With the Fire sitting four points up the road from The Crown, a win is critical to the majority of CLTFC’s playoff scenarios. The Fire found themselves in 8th place at the end of the day, two points clear of ninth and in pole position.

Despite numerous efforts from Chicago, Charlotte held on for the 2-1 win to improve to on the season. As of publication, Charlotte sits 7th in the Eastern Conference standings with 18 points. Chicago pressed hard for another goal throughout the first half but saw every opportunity flame out with missed shots and timely defense by Charlotte. They dominated possession and kept Chicago pinned into their own half. The most danger of this period, however, was created by the Fire on a quick counter attack with two forwards against just Nathan Byrne. The English defender did brilliantly defending in space – as he has so often this season – to cut out the danger.

The Fire's home stadium is Soldier Field which it shares with the Chicago Bears of the National Football League. Head Coach Christian Lattanzio’s side have been carrying that tournament momentum over to the last third of the MLS regular season but were generally unable to turn draws into key victories. However, they still found themselves in a good position to control their own destiny down the stretch.
