D.C. United needs victories, not draws. But the manner in which the club is earning single points will ease the pain of missed opportunities on the road.
Six days after a two-goal uprising in the waning moments in New Jersey, captain Bobby Boswell scored late in stoppage time as United claimed a 2-2 tie with the Chicago Fire before an announced 13,807 at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Ill.
With six weeks left in the regular season, United (7-9-13) drew even with Orlando City for the sixth and final playoff spot in MLS’s Eastern Conference (though the Florida club has played one fewer match).
