Chicago Fire 2-2 DC United: Boswell heads home equalizer

D.C. United boosted the club's playoff hopes with a draw against the Chicago Fire, but had to wait until stoppage time to earn a point.

Captain Bobby Boswell popped up with a 92nd-minute equalizer as Ben Olsen's D.C. United side claimed a 2-2 draw against the Chicago Fire to edge into the top six of the MLS Eastern Conference.

The capital club's playoff hopes looked set to suffer a dent until Boswell headed home in stoppage time at the end of a goal-mouth scramble, the defender netting his first league goal of the season.

United earlier took the lead in unusual circumstances after 19 minutes.
