Philadelphia rally from two goals down to draw with the New York Red Bulls
Chris Pontius and C.J. Sapong scored goals about a minute apart to
help the Philadelphia Union rally to 2-2 draw with the New York Red
Bulls on Sunday night.
Pontius poked a cross from Fabian Herbers into a wide-open net to tie the match in the 68th minute.
Sacha Kljestan rolled a left footer, off the feed from Bradley
Wright-Phillips, from just inside the top of the box to the far post to
open the scoring in the 27th. Kljestan blasted a free kick, after Ilson
Pereira was issued a yellow card for a foul on Felipe Martins, from just
outside the top the box to make it 2-0 in the 44th.
The Union cut the deficit in half with Sapong's penalty kick,
after Pontius drew a penalty -- and a yellow card -- on Sal Zizzo in the
67th minute. It was Sapong's sixth goal this season -- and his first
since May 14.
The Red Bulls have one win in their last six matches after winning four in a row.
