D.C. United produced a stunning late comeback, striking twice after the 82nd minute to earn a 2-2 road draw against the Chicago Fire. After falling behind on a Gaston Giménez and an Andy Najar own goal, United came back from the dead late as Kevin Paredes and Ola Kamara (from the penalty spot) scored to give them a share of the points.
Despite a series of knocks picked up against the Union on the weekend leaving much of the roster questionable, Hernán Losada ended up only having to make three changes to his lineup. Nonetheless, all three were injury-enforced, with Steven Birnbaum, Russell Canouse, and Adrien Perez not in uniform for United. Frédéric Brillant, Moses Nyeman, and Ola Kamara stepped in, while Losada switched from last week’s 343 to a 352.

All things considered, if the Chicago Fire had escaped Soldier Field with a 0-0 draw Saturday afternoon against CF Montreal, it would have been mildly disappointing, but not soul crushing.
But after Montreal’s Mason Toye scored his 87th minute winner, and Wyatt Omsberg’s apparent tying goal deep in stoppage time was overturned by VAR, the Fire now head into the international break having lost five of their first seven matches to start the 2021 season.
