The Fire have four points in come-from-behind fashion this week. Here's what we learned from games against Orlando and Colorado. #cf97 #VamosFire meninred97.com/what-we-learn…

And just like that it's level. Brandon Aaronson makes the tap in look easy - Brady gets there but he's in his own goal. Level in the 59' in Colorado.

JO BAMBA!!!!!! Bags a brace in his 4th goal contribution this week. 2-1 for #cf97 in the 57' If the lead holds, puts the Fire back in 4th place in the East.

PRO Response to pool reporter Q on foul on Jack Elliott in 45', asking why it wasn't violent conduct: "While there is contact on Jack Elliott, the amount of force did not reach the level for a red card for violent conduct." #cf97 #OrlandoCity

Important correction: response came via PRO's pool report system, which simply relays the response of the match official.

Brutal honesty from Wicky here. Sad this is the state of SKC's roster given the time this FO has had.
#SportingKC manager Raphael Wicky was asked about personnel and formation, including "Asking André to defend from the wing." Full exchange and response here:

This guy just said the quiet part out loud. He doesn't care about MLS, attend matches, understand supporter culture, and strictly milks MLS content for views and subs. Every third post is him bragging about how many subscribers he has. I don't know how people fall for it.

After tonight's 2-2 draw vs Orlando, Robert Lewandowski's goalless for #cf97 streak reaches 660 minutes - a new career record for the striker in league play. Snakebit.
