Andrew Gutman - Provides assist in victory Gutman assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 win over St. Louis City SC.
Impact Gutman supplied the low cross that Hugo Cuypers turned into the opening goal on Saturday. He also initiated the move that led to the late winner by finding Philip Zinckernagel at the top of the box. The left back went the full match and overlapped consistently as Chicago chased a late winner. His early delivery and late involvement bookended the Fire's scoring and ended a solid shift in defense for him with one tackle, two interceptions and two clearances. Gutman also continues his run of assists as he now has a total of seven in the league, five more than his previous career high.

Hugo Cuypers - Opens scoring Saturday Cuypers scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 win over St. Louis City SC.
Impact Cuypers put Chicago ahead in the 16th minute by finishing Andrew Gutman's low cross after a pass from Brian Gutierrez. He also went close deep into stoppage time with a rising effort over the bar. The Belgian forward's goal was his 15th of the 2025 MLS season, which is five more than his first season in the league despite playing six fewer games. Cuypers has now scored three goals in his last four matches and will look to carry that form into Saturday's clash with Philadelphia.
