In a game between two teams that aren’t really going anywhere this season, the story of the game is less about what’s happening on the pitch and more about what’s going on off of it. But, there was still a 2-2 draw played out between the Chicago Fire and DC United, so let’s actually check what happened on the pitch first.
The first half felt like it was mostly dominated by DC United until about a half hour in. DC’s only real chances in the first half were a 7th minute breakaway from Nigel Robertha after a bad giveaway and the Frederic Brillant header off of the following corner kick.
