Although one of the new guys got his name on the scoresheet, the Revolution didn't get the points they would have liked in their 2020 home opener. Adam Buksa opened the scoring in the first half when he turned a simple cross from Brandon Bye into a high probability scoring chance; which he converted on. Similarly, the Chicago Fire turned a simple cross into an equalizer when Jonathan Bornstein flicked a service from Djordje Mihailovic beyond the reach of Brad Knighton.
