BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. — D.C. United ran its unbeaten streak to nine games with a 0-0 tie with the Chicago Fire on Sunday and goalkeeper Bill Hamid finished one of the strongest seasons as the Major League Soccer regular season ended. United (14-11-9) had its five-game winning streak ended but still earned the fourth seeded in the Eastern Conference and is home against fifth-seeded Columbus for the Knockout Round on Wednesday or Thursday. Keeper Patrick McLain, in his fifth start of the season for the Fire (8-18-8), picked up his first clean sheet by making one save. Chicago forward Alan Gordon announced earlier Sunday that he would retire following the game. The two-time MLS Cup champion played for six different clubs during his 15 seasons in the league, and had 59 goals and 32 assists in regular-season play.
