The Crew were gifted one of their goals when Chicago's defender Carlos Teran put the ball into his own net. Diego Rossi and Jacen Russell-Rowe scored Columbus' other goals. Both, at times, had provided Columbus with key offensive production last season.

Columbus Crew have been away from official competition since the MLS Cup first round, but have been on the field during preseason.

Diego Rossi steps up for Columbus crew after Cucho's exit, scoring twice in a thrilling 4-2 win over Chicago Fire FC in the season opener.

The Crew are at Lower.com Field for the first time in 2025. To kick off the season, the Crew will be facing Eastern Conference rival Chicago Fire with former Crew coach Gregg Berhalter on the sideline. Berhalter was hired by Chicago this offseason after being fired from his second stint with the United States men's national team.

The Chicago Fire lost to the Columbus Crew 4-2 on Saturday in coach Gregg Berhalter’s debut with the team. Brian Gutiérrez, 21, scored both Fire goals.
