On the verge of a season crushing defeat, Steve Birnbaum headed home in the 4th minute of stoppage time in a 2-2 draw
For the second week in a row, D.C. United wasted a first half lead, and for the second week in a row, the Black-and-Red had to settle for a lone point at home, this time in a 2-2 draw with the Philadelphia Union. Seconds from defeat, center back Steve Birnbaum powered a header home across the face of goal for United, who squandered Taylor Kemp's first half strike.
Tranquillo Barnetta smashed home a free kick from distance just before the end of the first frame, after Kemp had gone on a solo run from his own half to put United ahead in the 16th minute.
