Foxborough, Mass. (August 31, 2024) – Chicago Fire FC II (8-7-8-5, 37 points) earned a 1-1 draw at New England Revolution II (4-15-4-3, 19 points) Saturday evening at Gillette Stadium. Omari Glasgow opened the scoring three minutes into the match with his fourth goal of the year, while Patrick Los recorded four saves in another solid appearance.
Seeking their first win on the road since June, the Fire immediately struck to open the match. Glasgow dribbled through traffic on the right to find a space at the top of the box in the third minute, before lashing a well-placed shot off his far post and into the goal. The goal marked the Guyanese winger’s fourth goal of the year, as well as Javier Casas’ first assist of 2024.
Chicago pushed forward looking to double the lead, but New England would instead strike back before the half hour mark. After a recovery in the midfield, Marcos Dias found a pocket of space at the top of the Fire box. The Revolution forward rifled the equalizer home, tallying his seventh goal of the season to give his side the momentum.
The Fire were able to stem the tide through the remainder of the match, earning a point and sending the match to a shootout. Despite a favorable coin flip, the visitors missed two kicks in the contest. A perfect shootout ensued for the Revolution, and the home side came away with an additional point.
