Chicago native Dylan Borso made his debut for his hometown club Chicago Fire in Columbus, entering the match in the 28th minute of the first half in place of Leonardo Barroso at right wingback.
Borso became the 24th Homegrown Player to feature in a Major League Soccer match in Chicago Fire FC history.
Following an opening half dominated in possession by Columbus, the hosts nearly got on the board in the 51st minute. After a save and a scramble in the box, winger Max Arfsten had an open look at goal denied by Borso on the goal line. The effort sparked the Fire attack, culminating in a header from the Homegrown saved by Columbus goalkeeper Patrick Schulte 20 minutes later.
Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter said after the game, “As of two days ago, he wasn't even involved in the first team and we needed him for training; he came in and did well. Today was an outstanding performance, really strong performance from Dylan. Good confidence and it showed that he's been developing.”
