CHICAGO – The Philadelphia Union, featuring a rotated squad, battled back from 1-0 and 3-2 deficits to take a 3-3 road draw from the Chicago Fire on Saturday night on a waterlogged pitch at Soldier Field.
Quinn Sullivan scored a spectacular bicycle kick in the first start of his career for the Union’s first goal and Cory Burke also ended up on the scoresheet. The Union’s third was an own goal from Boris Sekulic that was set up by Kacper Przybylko to tie the match in the 79th minute.
