COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 25 (UPI) -- Gonzalo Segares scored in the 89th minute Saturday, giving the Chicago Fire a 2-2 Major League Soccer tie with the Columbus Crew.

The tie earned both clubs one point in the MLS standings.

Columbus led 2-0 on first-half goals by Chad Marshall in the 25th minute and Alejandro Moreno in the 34th. Chicago closed to 2-1 when Brian McBride in the 86th and got the equalizer on the first goal in the 2009 season for Segares.
