Homegrown Guyanese footballer Omari Glasgow made history on Saturday night when he came on as a substitute for midfielder Brian Gutiérrez in the 79th minute of Chicago Fire’s Major League Soccer (MLS) fixture against the New England Revolution at Soldier Field.

The 20-year-old winger was signed to a short-term loan agreement prior to the match, becoming the first-ever Chicago Fire FC II player to feature for the First Team in MLS regular season action.

Chicago Fire FC fell 1-0 to the New England Revolution after a back-and-forth first half that ended with both teams going into the halftime break scoreless.
