FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Philip Zinckernagel scored his 15th goal of the season for the Fire on Saturday night in a wild 2-2 tie with the Revolution in the regular-season finale for both teams.
No. 8 Chicago (15-11-8) will host ninth-seeded Orlando in the Eastern Conference’s Wild Card match when the MLS Cup playoffs begin on Wednesday. Had the Fire lost, they would’ve played their playoff game on the road. The Fire will host a postseason game for the first time since 2017.
Dor Turgeman flicked a header, off a free kick played into the area by Carles Gil, from near the penalty spot into the net to give New England (9-16-9) a 2-1 lead in the sixth minute of stoppage time. A couple of minutes later, Joel Waterman ran onto a loose ball along the left end line and flicked a first-touch shot that was redirected into the net by Turgeman for an own goal that capped the scoring.
Alhassan Yusuf gave the Revolution a 1-0 lead in the first minute when he dispossessed the Fire’s Dje D’Avilla at the top of the penalty area and then chipped a short shot over goalkeeper Chris Brady and inside the back post.
Zinckernagel put away a rising first-touch finish off a feed from Hugo Cuypers to make it 1-1 in the 82nd. He became the first player in club history with 15 goals and 15 assists in the same season. The Fire’s two goals gave them 68 for the season, a club record.
