A weather delay culled the Fire&#8217;s momentum near the half, which the hosts exploited to tie the match early in the second half. But in a moment of brilliance, forward Robert Lewandowski drew a foul in the box that gave him his first penalty attempt with Chicago. The Polish striker left no doubt on the kick, giving the Fire a 2-1 lead they would not relinquish. The victory was their sixth in a row across all competitions, the best such mark since 1998.<\/p>\n<p>Red Bull New York has endured a tougher start to the second half of the season. Following a 3-2 win over Orlando on August 1, New York returned from a week off to see a 1-0 lead turn into a 2-1 loss against Atlanta United FC last Saturday. The Red Bulls held their own on Wednesday at home against Supporters&#8217; Shield leaders Nashville SC for 90 minutes, before a set piece header in stoppage time handed them their fourth loss in five matches since the break.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All-Time Major League Soccer Record vs. RBNY:<\/strong>\u00a0(33-23-16)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Last Game vs. RBNY:<\/strong>\u00a0May 9, 2025 (1-3 L) \u2013 Soldier Field \u2013 Chicago (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagofirefc.com\/news\/match-recap-hugo-cuypers-scores-in-eighth-straight-match-in-3-1-loss-to-red-bull-new-york\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Match Recap<\/a>)<br \/><strong>Last Match at RBNY:<\/strong>\u00a0April 5, 2025 (1-2 L) \u2013 Sports Illustrated Stadium \u2013 Harrison, N.J.
