The Chicago Fire hosted Real Salt Lake for the Eastern Conference championship and the right to face LA Galaxy for the MLS Cup. Both teams battled valiantly through the regulation 90 minutes and two 15-minute overtime periods, unable to score a single goal. The match was decided by a dramatic shootout, and finally the visitors scored one more goal than the Fire, disappointing a boisterous sold-out crowd. The atmosphere at beautiful Toyota Park was electric, complete with fireworks, confetti, banners, flags, horns and drums keeping up a constant energy throughout the game.

Favorite moment: The shootout was definitely filled with drama, suspense, alternating the thrill of scoring with the agony of missed shots. @
