Philadelphia Union hit back from 4-1 down to earn a point from an entertaining match against New England Revolution in Major League Soccer's Eastern Conference.
AJ Soares opened the scoring and when Rajko Lekic and Monsef Zerka made it 3-0 by the 26th minute, Revolution were in the driving seat.
Although Roger Torres pulled a goal back in the 28th minute, Benny Feilhaber's 34th-minute goal had the visitors in control on half-time.
However, Freddy Adu gave Philadelphia hope with a 56th-minute goal and Sebastien Le Toux reduced the gap to a single goal from the penalty spot with 10 minutes remaining, before equalising in the 90th minute.
The result lifts Philadelphia up to third place, five points off pacesetters Columbus Crew, while New England's consolation is that they moved off the bottom of the table - they are now above Toronto on goal difference.

Philadelphia Union Portland Timbers
CHESTER, Pa. (AP) -- The Portland Timbers extended their unbeaten streak to three with a scoreless draw against the Philadelphia Union on Saturday.
The Timbers (9-12-6) are only 1-8-4 on the road this season with seven goals scored.
The Union's winless streak reached eight, spanning two months. Since a 3-0 victory at New England on July 17, the Union (8-7-12) have gone 0-3-5.
Philadelphia is 5-1-8 at home.
That winless stretch was nearly snapped in the 88th minute when Justin Mapp sent a cross to Kyle Nakazawa, who clanged a shot directly off the crossbar.
Defender Carlos Valdes' header in stoppage time was saved by Portland goalkeeper Troy Perkins.
Philadelphia rookie goalkeeper Zac MacMath, who gave up four goals in a 4-4 draw against the Revolution on Wednesday, responded with a shutout.
The Union won't play until Sept. 17, when they host Columbus, while Portland will host New England on Friday.
