The Union appeared destined for defeat, but Brian Carroll's stoppage time equalizer turned everything around.
Throughout much of their sordid history, the Union have found themselves in control of games approaching the final minutes only to grasp defeats and draws from the jaws of victory. Tonight, the shoe was on the other foot. Despite Colorado Rapids out-playing the Philadelphia Union, it was the Union who snatched a draw from the jaws of defeat in stoppage time thanks to a Brian Carroll equalizer.
The first half was a tight and compact affair with no shots on target for either side, though in spite of that each team did have one chance to put themselves on the scoreboard.
