CHICAGO 1, KANSAS CITY 1 ------------------------
KANSAS CITY, Kansas (Ticker) -- Michael Harrington redeemed himself with a game-tying goal as the Kansas City Wizards kept alive their playoff hopes with a 1-1 draw against the Chicago Fire in front of a sellout crowd.
After committing a handball foul in the penalty area which resulted in Chicago's lone goal in first-half stoppage time, Harrington evened the score on a right-footer from just outside the penalty area.
Josh Wolff crossed to Harrington, who made a couple of moves before knocking the ball into the right side of the net past goalkeeper Jon Busch in the 48th minute.
The Wizards (8-10-9) have played the Fire tough all season, posting two ties and losing a 1-0 game earlier this year. The Fire (12-9-6) have won just two of their last seven matches.
