Hugo Cuypers Selected to MLS Team of the Matchday
Chicago Fire star Hugo Cuypers is off to a hot start in the 2026 MLS season. With five matches completed already, Cuypers has four goals and has scored in four-straight matches for the Fire.
Now, his latest performance is earning him an honor.
The forward was named to the MLS Team of the Matchday for Matchday 5 following his goal-
The Belgian striker earned his first appearance on the MLS Team of the Matchday in 2026 following his opening goal in first half stoppage time. Defender Andrew Gutman got on the end of a deflected ball from Robin Lod on the left wing, then sent a perfect cross for Cuypers to head past Union goalkeeper Andre Blake. He later went on to record a secondary assist in Jonathan Bamba’s game-winning goal – only his second game-winning assist in league play.
The honor is Cuypers’ fifth in his third season with the Fire and first since Matchday 17 of the 2025 season. This is also the second time he earns the distinction following a goal-scoring performance against the Union; his first also earned him Chicago’s last MLS Player of the Matchday award, when he had his first multi-goal match with the Men in Red in a 4-3 comeback win over Philadelphia on July 3, 2024.
