The Chicago Fire dispatched (http://web.mlsnet.com/news/team_news.jsp?ymd=20090715&content_id=5888418&vkey=news_chf&fext=.jsp&team=t100) the New England Revolution 2-1 last night (http://web.mlsnet.com/scoreboard/game.jsp?match=07152009_CHINE) in Foxboro, earning themselves a trip to the 2009 SuperLiga final. Cuauhtemoc Blanco led the way for Chicago with an assist to Brian McBride in the 34th minute to give the Fire a 1-0 lead. Then Blanco netted an unassisted goal in the 63rd minute to break a 1-1 tie and put the Fire ahead for good. Keeper Jon Busch played outstanding for the Fire, stopping 8 of 9 shots on goal fired by New England. The Revolution - the defending SuperLiga champs - were also a bit short-handed as suspensions, injuries, and other duties kept seven players off their roster for this match. Still, there's nothing to take away from the Fire, who earned the right to host the August 5th SuperLiga final against Tigres UANL. Fire coach Coach Dennis Hamlett said after the game (http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=661178&sec=mls&cc=5901), "You need big plays to win and our big players stepped up and made great plays."
Tickets for the August 5th final at Toyota Park go on sale...well, now (http://www.ticketmaster.com/Chicago-Fire-tickets/artist/805916?list_view=1?CAMEFROM=CFC_chicagofire).
