Espinoza sent in a ball from the right that was placed perfectly for Álvaro Medrán to send into the bottom left corner with one touch for his second goal of the season in the 49th minute to level the score at 1-1. Gutiérrez entered the match in the 69th minute, returning for the first time since Aug. 28 due to an ankly injury. After the team went down 2-1, it was a clean pass from Gutiérrez to Ignacio Aliseda in the box that set up the Argentine for this fourth goal of the season and the final 2-2 scoreline.

match Notes

Returning to the broadcast booth for a second season are play-by-play commentator Tyler Terens and color analyst and U.S. Soccer Hall of Famer Tony Meola. Play-by-play commentator Arlo White – whose Fire broadcast debut was postponed last year by the pandemic – joined the broadcast team for four consecutive games for the Fire.

The 2021 season marked White’s first campaign in the Fire broadcast booth. A native of Leicester, England, who grew up visiting Chicago, called Fire matches during the Premier League offseason. He will call football matches for NBC Olympics during this summer’s Tokyo Games. He previously worked at the 2016 Rio and 2012 London Games.

The 2021 season marks Meola’s second campaign as a member of the Chicago Fire’s broadcast team. A native of Kearny, N.J., Meola served as one of the top two broadcast teams – on-site in Russia – for FOX Sports at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Since 1990, Meola has served as a football broadcaster in various capacities.

Meola, the 2000 MLS Most Valuable Player and FIFA World Cup veteran – was inducted into the United States Soccer National Hall of Fame in May 2012.

The 2021 season marks Terens’ second campaign as a member of the Chicago Fire’s broadcast team. Terens came to the Fire after calling more than 500 football matches including Concacaf Champions League, Concacaf Gold Cup, Concacaf Nations League, Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, USL and NCAA. He also spent two seasons as the voice of Phoenix Rising FC, covering all home and away matches as well as hosting Concacaf’s Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League Show.
