The Late Escape: Fire survive Indy Eleven in PKs

The Chicago Fire were pushed to the absolute limit against Indy Eleven Wednesday but survived after a 111th minute goal from David Accam forced the game into penalty kicks where Chicago eventually triumphed.

Chicago fans had not seen the Men in Red in action for two weeks but Fire supporters were treated to perhaps more soccer than they had hoped for on Wednesday.

It took more than 120 minutes of action for the Fire to put away NASL 2016 Spring Champions Indy Eleven at Toyota Park, eventually breaking the 1-1 draw with a 4-3 victory in the shootout.
