BOX SCORE
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ante Razov scored on a penalty kick and
Tom Soehn scored his first Major League Soccer goal as the Chicago
Fire rallied to tie Columbus in regulation, then beat the Crew in a
shootout for a 3-2 victory Sunday.
It was the regular season finale for both teams, who had already
clinched playoff berths.
The Fire (18-14) scored on two of five attempts in the shootout
to just one goal of five for the Crew (19-13).
Soehn tied the game 2-2 in the 75th minute on a header after
Crew goalkeeper Mark Dougherty misjudged a corner kick by Peter
Nowak.
The Crew made it 2-0 in the 65th minute on a corner kick by
Robert Warzycha crossed to Jeff Cunningham, who headed the ball
past Fire goalkeeper Zach Thornton.
But one minute later Crew defenseman Todd Yeagley fouled the
Fire's Paul Dougherty and Razov converted the penalty kick to make
it 2-1.
Stern John opened the scoring for the Crew in the 5th minute as
Mike Clark crossed the ball from 20 yards and Brian McBride headed
to John.
With Sunday's attendance of 18,979, the Crew finished with a
regular season average of 17,696, tops in the league. Los Angeles
was second with an average attendance of 17,632.
