![]() I will be 80-years-old and Tyler Miller will still be an active player on an MLS roster. They then showed highlights of the NCAA Final Four game. Why should anyone in the stadium care if New England scored against New York? The Fire showed highlights of other MLS games during breaks in play, which was weird, and kind of tinpot. It’ll be interesting to see if things pick up in the next two games, which are both at Soldier Field. There wasn’t much of a crowd for the contest, but can you blame those in Chicago? The weather was bad, and this team hasn’t given them much to support over the past few years. A cross got to Kei Kamara, and his header was on target, but his effort was saved heroically by Tyler Miller. The final highlight came in the last few moments. Chicago had a half-chance late on when a corner found Mueller, but once again he failed to direct a header towards frame. That flurry was all the visitors could produce for the rest of the night. He beat the keeper, but he was denied by the post. Then he tried to take matters into his own hands, as he drove forward on the ball before blasting a shot from distance. First he was seemingly taken down in the area, but the referee decided not to call anything. They kept pushing forward, and Fountas really grew into the contest. A free-kick whipped into the area by Klich picked out Steve Birnbaum, but he couldn’t get his header on target. He rushed things, though, and a tame shot was easily saved by Chris Brady.ĭ.C. Taxiarchis Fountas and Benteke linked up well, and it led to the former finding space on the edge of the area. We finally had another highlight in the 58th minute. You would’ve thought that those two openings would lead to the game bursting into life, but it instead slowed up incredibly. His effort looked good at first, but it ended up going wide of the frame. A cross towards the back post was headed back across goal by Kacper Przybyłko right to Chris Mueller, and he headed it towards goal. ![]() The finish wasn’t, however, as he ended up toe-poking a weak effort right at the goalkeeper. ![]() Mateusz Klich picked out Christian Benteke with a lovely ball, and the forward’s turn was just as nice. They had more of the ball, and they looked more dangerous in the final third.ĭ.C. Story of the matchĬhicago was better to start the contest. It was rough, and each side will be disappointed with their respective performances. There were mistakes, fouls, and wasted opportunities. Unitedīoth teams had a few chances over the course of the night, but in general the match was very ugly. ![]() The points were shared at Soldier Field on Saturday night as the Chicago Fire drew 0-0 at home to D.C. ![]()
