D.C. United Mounts Remarkable Comeback to Keep Postseason Hopes Alive Trailing 3-2 entering second-half extra time, D.C. United midfielder Gabriel Pirani scored goals in the 94th minute and 97th minute to steal a victory from Nashville SC and keep their postseason hopes alive with two matches remaining. D.C. United (37 points, 9-13-10) currently sits in 11th place in the Eastern Conference, but is tied with ninth-placed Toronto FC (37 points, 11-18-4) on points. For the second time in club history, D.C. United earned a comeback road victory by scoring both the game-tying and game-winning goals in second-half stoppage time. The previous occurrence happened on July 27, 2003, as Eliseo Quintanilla tied the game in the 91st minute and Dema Kovalenko and Alecko Eskandarian each scored in the 93rd minute in a 4-2 victory over the New England Revolution. D.C. will look to make up ground in the postseason race on Saturday night as they travel to face the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium (7:30 p.m. ET, MLS Season Pass on Apple TV). |
