Mark McKenzie’s late strike cancelled out a disastrous minute in which the Union conceded a corner kick goal to Donovan Pines and a questionable PK on Alejandro Bedoya that Yamil Asad converted to put the hosts up 2-1 at Audi Park on Wednesday night. Birthday boy Anthony Fontana scored the opener to give the Union a 1-0 lead early in the second half.
With the draw and with Columbus dropping points in a loss to FC Cincinnati, the Union remain firmly in second place in the Eastern Conference behind Toronto but missed an opportunity to gain ground after Toronto’s draw with the New York Red Bulls.
