Aleksandar Katai scored a gorgeous fifth goal of the season and created another to help the Chicago Fire come from two goals down and earn a 2-2 draw against the Colorado Rapids at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Wednesday night.
The struggling Rapids also put a goal into their own net. This after grabbing a 2-0 lead after 15 minutes through Dominique Badji's sixth of the season and Tommy Smith's first in MLS.
The Rapids at least ended an eight-match league losing streak, but could not find a winner even after going up a man when Chicago's Johan Kappelhof was sent off for a boot raised to the face following a Video Review.

MOMENT OF THE MATCH:
After cutting the early deficit in half on a moment that owed to good fortune, the Fire were level on a demonstration of Katai's quality.
"I like it too much here... Chicago is a very nice city."
