CHICAGO FIRE vs. SEATTLE SOUNDERS
TOYOTA PARK, Bridgeview, Ill.
July 11, 2015 (MLS Game #189)
8:30 pm ET (MLS Live, CSN-Chicago, JOEtv)

•  Patrick Nyarko’s first goal of the season ended the Fire’s goalless drought after 285 minutes – the seventh-longest in MLS this season – and the Fire ended their four-game losing slide but have still gone since May 30 without a victory following their 1-1 draw at the Houston Dynamo on Friday evening.
• Sounders FC put an end to their three-game losing skid in dramatic fashion, Tyrone Mears scoring his first goal for the club in the 88th minute for a 1-0 win over MLS overall leaders D.C. United on Friday evening at CenturyLink Field.
• Sounders FC have never lost to the Fire in nine meetings all-time in league play. Seattle has won six, including a 3-2 win last June 7 at Toyota Park in their only meeting of 2014, the third consecutive victory in the series for Sounders FC. The teams have played to three draws.
• Sounders FC also won the 2011 U.S. Open Cup Final between the clubs.
