BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. - Chicago Fire FC II (6-4-4-1, 24 points) earned a 1-1 draw against Crown Legacy FC (3-5-6-3, 18 points) Monday night at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois. Homegrown midfielder Dylan Borso tallied the lone goal of the match for Chicago and opened the shootout with a good shot to earn an additional point.
After a first half highlighted by a fourth minute clearance off the line by Crown Legacy, Chicago got on the board six minutes into the second. Borso recovered a ball following a tackle by Jean Alpha Diouf before cutting to the top of the box and looping a ball over a leaping Nicholas Holliday for the 1-0 Fire lead.
Crown Legacy FC reclaimed much of the possession following the goal, turning it into a penalty in the Fire box that captain Jack Neeley converted for the 1-1 draw in the 67th minute. The sides settled for a draw, giving way to a perfect shootout for the hosts that went their way when the visitors missed a kick. The result extended the Fire's unbeaten streak to eight heading into the second half of the 2025 season.
