Chicago Fire: 3 things we learned from comeback draw against Toronto
By Daniel Garza
#2 Gordon scores massive goal
Alan Gordon’s first goal for the Fire couldn’t have come at a better time. After failing to score in his first five matches, Gordon showed why he is still one of the most valuable substitutes in Major League Soccer. The wait for his moment is over and this won’t be the last time we see him scoring late this season.
#1 Schweinsteiger leads the way
Despite missing a penalty kick in the first half, Schweinsteiger recovered well in the second half to help lead the Fire to a point away from home. He scored the goal that brought them back into the match and then provided the cross into the box that led to Gordon’s equalizing goal in stoppage time.
The former Bayern Munich player already has one goal and four assists in his first six games and is headed to a much better season, statistically, than last season. He has stepped up big time for the Fire in the early stages of the season and is making things happen on both sides of the pitch.
