Julián Carranza’s goal in the 65th minute pulled the Philadelphia Union into a 2-2 draw with the Chicago Fire on Saturday night at Soldier Field.
The draw snapped a four-game road losing streak for the Union, their longest since 2017-18, when they lost six straight.
But the Union (2-4-2) haven’t won in five straight games. Their last victory was a 1-0 decision against the Fire on March 11.
The Fire (2-1-4) remained unbeaten in their last five matches.

Maren Haile-Selassie gave the Fire the early lead with a goal in the 19th minute. An own goal to start the second half doubled the Fire’s lead, but Dániel Gazdag converted on a penalty kick in the 62nd to make it 2-1.
The Union pulled even on Carranza’s goal about three minutes later.
The Fire have dropped only two matches to the Union at Soldier Field in 12 visits since 2014.
Red Stars 4, Current 2
Penelope Hocking scored twice and the Chicago Red Stars won for the first time this season, beating the Kansas City Current on Saturday in Bridgeview.
It was the Red Stars’ first game without Mallory Swanson, who tore the patella tendon in her left knee while playing for the U.S. national team against Ireland on April 8 in Austin, Texas.
Swanson had surgery Tuesday and there is no timeline for her return, although it’s unlikely she’ll be back in time for the Women’s World Cup this summer.
Kansas City (0-3-0) has just two goals this season.
The Red Stars (1-2-0) went up early on Ella Stevens’ goal in the fourth minute. Hocking scored in the 49th to give them a 2-0 lead.
Hocking scored her second in the 67th minute after Kansas City goalkeeper A.D. Franch gave the Red Stars a 4-0 lead with an own goal.
The Current avoided the shutout with Debinha’s goal in the 74th minute. Mimmi Larsson added another in stoppage time.
