The late comeback also made history, as the first game in MLS for two goals to be scored after the 93rd minute to notch a draw.
It was the second time a team came back from 2-0 down in second half stoppage time to tie the game, following San Jose tying New England on July 24, 2004. Two other games (New England vs. Chicago, June 11, 2006; Vancouver vs. Kansas City, Apr. 2, 2011) featured two goals being scored in a 3-1 game in stoppage time to end in a 3-3 draw.
