BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. --
Chicago Fire attacker Cuauhtémoc Blanco has won the Sierra Mist Goal of the Week award for his goal last Thursday in the club's 2-0 win at D.C. United.
Blanco helped seal the Fire's victory over United when he broke into space beyond the 18-yard box and bent a long-ranged strike into the upper right corner of the net for the game's second goal.
In what would eventually become the 2007 Sierra Mist Goal of the Year, Blanco last won the Goal of the Week in the Week 20 of 2007 when he scored a 25-yard game-winner at Real Salt Lake.
The Chicago Fire (5-1-1, 16 pts.) return from a two-game road stint to host the Houston Dynamo (1-2-4, 7 pts.) on Saturday, May 17, at TOYOTA PARK in Bridgeview, Ill. Kickoff for the match is set for 7:30 p.m. CT. The Fire are coming off a 2-0 road win over D.C. United on Thursday, while Houston picked up their first win of 2008 with a 2-1 home victory against Colorado on Saturday. This Saturday's game will be televised by My50 Chicago and will be on Chicagoland radio stations WNVR 1030-AM (POL) and WRTO 1200-AM (SPA).
