The Fire wrapped up their 2017 regular season campaign in Houston on Sunday night with a 3-0 defeat on the road, but maintained their third-place status in the Eastern Conference after Columbus Crew SC and New York City FC battled to a 2-2 draw, as did Toronto FC and Atlanta United.
Head coach Veljko Paunovic's side finished the regular season with 55 points -- just two shy of second-seeded New York City FC -- having gone 4-2-2 over their final eight matches.
