The Chicago Fire left points on the table at home once again as they had to settle for a 1-1 draw at SeatGeek Stadium to Eastern Conference rivals New York City FC on Saturday afternoon. An open contest saw both teams hit the woodwork early as New York striker Heber saw his chip bounce off the crossbar before Aleksandar Katai was denied by the far post.
The Men In Red would take the lead at the half-hour mark when Brandt Bronico picked out CJ Sapong for an easy tap-in. The flag initially went up for offside but VAR intervened and ultimately determined the correct the decision.
