What happened

Ezekiel Alladoh delivered the decisive moment of a dramatic MLS comeback, scoring in the 90+7 minute to secure a 3-2 regular-season victory and earn Man of the Match honors. The stoppage-time winner was the first MLS goal of his career.

The side had trailed 2-0 before beginning its recovery in the 73rd minute. That goal created an opening, but the deficit remained until the closing moments of stoppage time.

The equalizer arrived in the 90+6 minute, setting the stage for another immediate attack. One minute later, Alladoh struck to complete a three-goal comeback and turn what had appeared to be a defeat into a full three-point result.

Why it matters

The late sequence transformed the outcome of the match and the value gained from it. Rather than leaving with nothing after falling two goals behind, the side collected all three regular-season points through a comeback completed in the final seconds.

For Alladoh, the winner represented a significant individual breakthrough after a difficult start to 2026. His first MLS goal was not a consolation or an addition to a comfortable lead; it directly decided a one-goal match.

The Man of the Match recognition reflected both the timing and the consequence of his contribution. In a comeback defined by three goals after the 72nd minute, Alladoh supplied the final touch that separated the teams.

By the numbers

Three goals in the 73rd, 90+6 and 90+7 minutes overturned the 2-0 deficit. The final two strikes came only one minute apart, compressing the decisive phase of the match into the last moments of stoppage time.

Alladoh's goal changed the score from 2-2 to 3-2 and secured three regular-season points. It also gave him his first league goal, linking his MLS breakthrough directly to the comeback's defining moment.

What to watch next

Attention now shifts to how Alladoh's role in the attack develops over the remaining regular-season schedule. A first MLS goal can mark a turning point, but his involvement and opportunities in the matches ahead will determine whether the winner leads to a more sustained contribution.

The immediate evidence is clear: when the comeback reached its decisive stage, Alladoh delivered. His next challenge is to build on a breakthrough that could hardly have arrived in more consequential fashion.
