D.C. United overcame a two-goal deficit Wednesday night to take the lead in the late stages against the Chicago Fire.
But on the brink of a stirring comeback victory, with first place at stake and a three-game unbeaten streak about to end, United conceded a goal in stoppage time and settled for a 3-3 draw before 14,201 at Audi Field.
Despite United’s stirring reply to the early goals, this outcome will go down as a major disappointment. Aiming to complete the first half of the schedule this week with two victories, D.C. (7-4-5) stumbled in the dying moments.
