Brooklyn FC rescued a point deep in stoppage time, drawing 2–2 with FC Tulsa at home on Saturday in the USL Championship. Wilson Eisner and Delentz Pierre had FC Tulsa cruising at halftime, but Abdoulaye Kanté pulled one back in the 64th minute before Tommy McNamara equalized in the 91st to complete the comeback.
FC Tulsa controlled the first half. Eisner opened the scoring in the 29th minute, and Pierre doubled the lead eight minutes later, finishing off a Jeorgio Kocevski delivery to make it 2–0 heading into the break. Brooklyn had already picked up two early yellow cards through Gabriel Alves and Marlon LeBlanc, and the hosts looked rattled.
Whatever was said at halftime worked. Brooklyn came out with more urgency in the second half, and Kanté cut the deficit to one in the 64th minute, converting from a Christopher Olney Jr. assist. The goal shifted the momentum firmly toward the home side.
FC Tulsa's discipline unraveled as the half wore on. Four different players were cautioned after the break — Abdoulaye Cissoko, Rémi Cabral, Lucas Stauffer, and Boubacar Diallo — as the visitors tried to hold onto their shrinking lead. Boubacar Diallo's booking in the 86th minute signaled a team hanging on by its fingernails.
They couldn't hold. McNamara struck in the first minute of added time to level the score and send the Brooklyn faithful home with something to celebrate.
The draw extends Brooklyn FC's unbeaten run at home but represents two points dropped for an FC Tulsa side that had the game well in hand.
