It appeared the Union would escape RFK Stadium with three points until a stoppage time Steve Birnbaum goal ended those hopes.
It all seemed set up for the Philadelphia Union to walk away from RFK Stadium with three points. The Union were ahead by a goal entering the match's final minutes and United had been struggling to generate quality chances. But then they did, and while Andre Blake made some fine saves, one chance got in and that was all that was needed to take the three points away as the Union left RFK Stadium with only one point and a 2-2 draw.
