By all accounts, the New York Red Bulls should have beaten up on the Chicago Fire. Sure, the Fire hadn't lost at home since April, but Chicago had a -8 goal difference coming into the game with New York at +8. An early own goal by Chicago seemed to signal good times for the away side, but it wasn't to last. The travelers gave up 2 goals in the first half, the last one right before halftime. If not for a late game goal by Bradley Wright-Phillips, this would've been one of the worst feeling results of the year.
