Redemption for Polster, disappointment for Fire in 2-2 draw

BRIDGEVIEW, ILL. – The Chicago Fire showed a more complete game than they have most of the season, but it was the play of second-year midfielder Matt Polster that helped Chicago to a draw, despite suffering an own goal early in a 2-2 match against New York Red Bulls Sunday night at Toyota Park.

Polster, who has been one of the bright spots in the midfield for Chicago this season, made an uncharacteristic error in the 17th minute, when a Mike Grella cross fell in the box that both he and goalkeeper Sean Johnson were late reacting to.
