Chicago Fire FC and Toronto FC battled to a 2–2 draw on Saturday at Soldier Field in MLS Regular Season 2025 action, with late drama defining a back-and-forth encounter.
Chicago created early pressure, with Brian Gutiérrez forcing a save in the 16′ minute and Hugo Cuypers testing the goalkeeper in the 19′ minute. However, the opening goal came in unusual fashion when Jack Elliott scored an own goal in the 27′ minute, giving Toronto a 1–0 lead.
Chicago continued to press, and Elliott's header was saved in the 54′ minute. Toronto responded with Deandre Kerr forcing a save in the 66′ minute. The momentum shifted in the 71′ minute when Elliott atoned for his earlier error, heading home from a Philip Zinckernagel delivery to level the match at 1–1.
Elliott completed his remarkable turnaround in the 89′ minute, again heading home from Zinckernagel's service to put Chicago ahead 2–1. But Toronto refused to concede defeat. In the 90+10′ minute, Djordje Mihailovic drove a shot from the center of the box to equalize at 2–2. Moments later, Mihailovic's penalty attempt was saved, ensuring both teams shared the points.
