Logan Farrington delivered a dramatic equaliser in the seventh minute of second-half stoppage time to earn FC Dallas a 3-3 draw with St. Louis City on Sunday night.
The result leaves both sides level on identical records of nine wins, six losses, and seven draws in the Western Conference standings.
Farrington’s late strike, assisted by Petar Musa and Nolan Norris, completed a remarkable comeback and denied St. Louis City what would have been a significant victory.
St. Louis City extended its club-record unbeaten streak to 12 matches under first-year coach Yoann Damet, a remarkable run of form through the middle of the season.
However, the hosts missed a golden opportunity to leapfrog fifth-place Dallas in the Western Conference table after surrendering the lead so late in the contest.
Simon Becher had set the tone early, scoring unassisted in just the third minute to hand St. Louis City an emphatic start to the match.
Four of Becher’s six goals this season have now come across the last four matches, underlining the striker’s sharpened form heading into the latter stages of the campaign.
Dallas drew level when defender Shaq Moore scored his first goal of the season, an unassisted effort in the 18th minute that silenced the home crowd momentarily.
Four of Moore’s five career goals have come across his two seasons with the club, making Sunday’s strike a particularly meaningful moment for the experienced defender.
Defender Sebastien Ibeagha pulled Dallas back to within one goal in the 81st minute, with Joaquín Valiente registering his team-high ninth assist of the season on the play.
Roman Bürki made three saves in goal for St. Louis City, while Dallas goalkeeper Sirois stopped four shots to keep his side in contention throughout.
The draw concluded a gruelling nine-match road trip for Dallas, during which the club posted a commendable record of four wins, two losses, and three draws.
St. Louis City’s last defeat came in a 2-0 loss at Austin FC at the beginning of May, a setback that appears to have sparked the team’s exceptional unbeaten run.
Dallas will return to home comforts next when they host Sporting Kansas City on Saturday, looking to build on the resilience they showed in St. Louis.
