COLUMBUS - Jason Johnson scored 4 minutes into stoppage time to give the Chicago Fire a 2-2 tie with the Columbus Crew on Friday night.

In the 94th minute, Eric Gehrig sent a cross into the box, where Johnson was able to head it past Steve Clark.

David Accam halved the lead just 3 minutes later, heading in a cross from short range by Kennedy Igboananike.

Quincey Amarikwa had a golden opportunity for the equalizer in the 81st minute, but his right-footed effort from the center of the box off a cross from Accam sailed over the crossbar.
