Watch: Union deliver 1-2 punch vs. bamboozled Red Bulls to tie up score

Reuters

At 2-0 up, with their high-press system bearing fruit and the clock ticking down, the New York Red Bulls figured all three points were probably secured.

But there's a saying in this sport that often rings true: 2-0 is the most dangerous lead in football

The Philadelphia Union banked on just that, fighting back with a pair of goals in less than two minutes to restore the tie at Talen Energy Stadium. C.J. Sapong buried a penalty in the 67th minute, and then, one minute later, Chris Pontius tied up the score after a low-driven cross flew by the Red Bulls' defenders.
