REVIEW Columbus Crew vs Chicago Fire
IDDAAKOLIK POST-MATCH REVIEW

neither Columbus Crew nor Chicago Fire could break the deadlock in a goalless afternoon. A game for the defenders, not the highlight reels.

A gentle 51% lean on Columbus Crew didn't survive contact with the match; margins like that flip all the time. The goals read — over 2.5 goals (61%), both teams to score (61%) — went the other way, though.

By the numbers, possession split 51% to 49% in Columbus Crew's favour, shots finished 13-8, expected goals 1.51 to 0.87.

For context: across their last 6 meetings in our records, Columbus Crew had the better of it with 5 wins. Scoring in those meetings ran 2.33 a game for Columbus Crew against 1.17 for Chicago Fire.
