Jason Kreis' men came back from a two-goal deficit with just 10 men, snapping a four-game losing streak in the process.
It appeared that New York City FC's miserable run was set to continue.
The home side was down two goals and a man against the Chicago Fire on Friday night, and it looked certain that the club was headed for a fifth consecutive loss. But then a funny thing happened: NYCFC banded together, found a fighting spirit, and came back to secure an unlikely 2-2 draw at Yankee Stadium.
