News and Notes from Saturday's 2-2 draw with Portland
Kicking off a three-game homestand, the Fire twice erased a one-goal deficit Saturday to finish level at 2-2 with the visiting Portland Timbers, earning their first point of the young 2018 season in the process.
Look back at some of the key facts and figures to emerge from the matchup.
One day shy of the 1-year anniversary of his on-field debut for the Fire, Bastian Schweinsteiger left an unmistakable imprint on Saturday's game, often anchoring the Fire back line while also earning assists on both Fire goals -- first with a solo run on the ball to find Brandon Vincent on the wing, then with an expertly lofted service to Vincent for the late equalizer.
