Chicago Fire 1, New York City FC 1: Man of the Match

Tonight we got some of that late-season Whatevering we’ve all come to know and “love.” The players are tired and ready for the end of the season. There’s just one problem: we’ve qualified for the playoffs, and we actually had things to play for tonight (like seeding). A 1-1 draw against a Conference rival, and a team we may very well have to face in the postseason, isn’t necessarily the worst result. But the Fire probably should’ve done a little better.

We’re giving out MOTM nod to Nemanja Nikolic, who scored the Fire’s lone goal and is now on 21 for the season.
