Lewandowski Faces Former Star | MLS News

Chicago Fire FC is already dreaming of trophy glory just one month into Robert Lewandowski’s historic arrival, but their path to glory just got tougher — they’re drawn against Hugo Cuypers, the striker they once signed for a record fee and who now leads CF Monterrey with 13 goals this season. Cuypers, on fire with four goals in three straight Leagues Cup games, adds to Monterrey’s lethal attack alongside stars like Diego Rossi and Jesús Corona. But Chicago isn’t backing down — Lewandowski has already scored four times in nine appearances, including a clutch goal in their three-game winning streak. Head coach Gregg Berhalter admits the matchup is personal, yet confident in his squad’s ability to rise to the occasion. For a team hungry to end a 20-year trophy drought since their last US Open Cup win, this quarterfinal is more than just another game — it’s a chance to rewrite history.
