For a Want of a Nail. Fire 2 Red Bulls 2

The Fire were oh so close to victory, until a slip by Jonathan Campbell left Bradley Wright-Phillips open to score the equalizing goal in the 90th minute.

Midway through the first half, John Goossens hit a beautiful cross. I can close my eyes and still see that ball soaring. Time slowing for a moment as the ball moves gracefully south by southwest from the right side of midfield. It moves over everyone's heads, Red Bull and Man in Red alike until gravity takes hold and brings it back to earth. However, before it can reach the grass covered ground as nature and physics intended, it meets the forehead of a diving Matt Polster, changing direction towards and passed a diving Luis Robles.
