Despite physically being inside Soldier Field for all 90 minutes with my eyes on the pitch, I’m still unsure of whether or not a game was actually played. At the end of the day, the result was a 0-0 draw between the Chicago Fire and New York City FC. That is what was on the scoreboard at the end of 90. But on the pitch, it’s very debatable whether either team deserved a point.
