A season that started with a fair amount of promise continued to spiral on Saturday as the Chicago Fire yielded a late equalizer and were forced to settle for a 1-1 tie with the Houston Dynamo. Since winning their first match of the season, the Fire have now gone winless in their last five. If there was a bright spot, the tie did end a three-match losing streak for the Fire.
Chicago Fire Vs. Houston Dynamo: Late-Equalizer Keeps Fire’s Winless Streak Going
Diego Chaves got the Fire off to a strong start when he scored his fourth goal of the young season on a solid blast from about 15 yards out in the 18th minute. The goal was a result of two give-aways by the Dynamo.
Although the Dynamo had the better of the play from that point on, they didn't get the equalizer until the 83rd minute. That's when Brad Davis placed a corner kick inside the penalty area, which Bobby Boswell was able to place inside the far post. The tie runs the Dynamo's unbeaten streak to five matches.
