To cap off a week of last-minute changes, it was Djordje Mihailovic flipping the script at Soldier Field on Saturday afternoon as he rescued a point for Chicago Fire FC with the final kick of the match against Sporting Kansas City.
A desperate long ball sent forward into the Sporting KC penalty area by Fire defender Mauricio Pineda was completely mishandled by KC goalkeeper Tim Melia and corralled by Mihailovic, who slotted home past a couple of sprawling KC defenders
“Obviously the wind played a big role in that it held the ball up in the air and gave me enough time,” Mihailovic said, crediting the elements as well as Pineda for creating the opportunity.
