Match recap
Philadelphia Union salvaged a late draw against Columbus Crew in a tightly contested MLS fixture, finishing 1-1. The Crew had taken the lead in the first half and looked set to hold on for a valuable away victory, demonstrating effective defensive organisation and frustrating the home side. Philadelphia, however, pressed relentlessly after the break, eventually finding an equalizer in the dying minutes of regular time. This late goal sparked celebrations and denied Columbus two crucial points on the road. The result sees both teams share the spoils, with Philadelphia undoubtedly the happier, having avoided defeat at home, while Columbus will lament letting a win slip away so close to full time.
