Lewandowski scores again in MLS, netting for Chicago Fire against Colorado Rapids

Robert Lewandowski has ended his goalless run in Major League Soccer. The Polish striker scored in Saturday's match between Colorado Rapids and Chicago Fire, which the visitors won 4-2. The news was published on 1 November 2026 by the Sportowe Fakty website.

A goal off the bench

Lewandowski started the match as a substitute. Chicago Fire head coach Gregg Berhalter sent him on in the 63rd minute. The result came quickly: in the 74th minute Philip Zinckernagel played a through ball, the Pole controlled it, went around the goalkeeper and shot into an empty net.

It was his eighth goal for Chicago Fire. He also has four assists. He added the fourth late in the match, when Puso Dithejane made it 4-2.

A longer wait

Lewandowski's previous MLS goal came on 10 September 2026 against Inter Miami. According to Sportowe Fakty, he faced criticism in the meantime, as his minutes without a goal were counted and it was pointed out that this was the longest such run of his career. His high earnings were also contrasted with his contribution to the team's results. That is the view of the cited source's author, not an established fact.

Chicago Fire won in Colorado by two goals. According to the source, Lewandowski's goal was one of four scored by the team in the match. The source does not say who scored the remaining goals apart from the Pole and Dithejane.

Lewandowski plays in the American league for Chicago Fire. He previously played for clubs including Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona, but the source article does not go into this. Polish fans, including those in the UK, follow his MLS goals, and MLS matches can be watched via online streams, although availability depends on the provider.

Lewandowski's next appearances in MLS will show whether Saturday's goal marks a lasting turnaround. For now, it is known that after several weeks without a goal he found the net again and helped his side to victory.
