BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – Veljko Paunovic admitted his Chicago Fire side still have “a long way to go” as they failed to see out another game from a winning position in their 2-2 tie with Columbus Crew SC at Toyota Park on Thursday night.
The hosts were well worth their 2-1 lead approaching the 80th-minute mark after a Michael Parkhurst own goal and Michael de Leeuw’s fifth goal of the regular season saw them overturn Adam Jahn’s 13th-minute opener.
However, a late onslaught from the visitors saw Jahn add a second with 10 minutes to go, setting up a grandstand finish in which both sides might’ve found a winner.
