Xherdan Shaqiri (31) and Chicago have been in a nosedive for weeks. The MLS club has not won a match since mid-July and has suffered five defeats in its last six games. The play-offs? At a far distance. There is no improvement in sight on Thursday evening either.
At halftime, Chicago, with the Swiss duo Shaqiri and Maren Haile-Selassie (24) in the starting line-up, was already behind 3-0 against Columbus. The frustration runs deep. In the second half it gets even worse: the magical dwarf kicks an opponent’s ankle. The result: yellow-red, expansion.
One can hardly assume that Shaqiri was intentional in this scene. The Swiss international simply comes into the game too late. Nevertheless, nothing changes the referee’s decision.
It’s rare for Shaqiri to be sent off. For the second time in his career he has to shower early. The last time: with FCB in the Europa League against Spartak Moscow more than 12 years ago.
After Shaq’s dismissal, Chicago finally has no way back in the game. The game is lost 0:3. But the battle for the play-offs is not over yet. Three points behind with five games to go. A deficit that can perhaps be made up with a Shaqiri in top form. (sbe)
