In the 28th minute of Saturday's 1-1 draw against New York City FC, Chicago Fire forward CJ Sapong crashed the visitors' six-yard box, got his foot on a low cross from Brandt Bronico, and etched his name into Fire history.
The goal was the Club's 1000th all-time in MLS regular season play, a number that just seven other MLS teams have surpassed. Take a look by the numbers below at some of the players, moments, and teams that have shaped the Fire record book and helped guide the Club to this moment:
