Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scored a second half brace as New York Red Bulls came from a goal down to beat Real Salt Lake 2-1 in a chaotic encounter.
Choupo-Moting scored a 98th-minute winner from the spot after missing an early penalty in a dramatic second half that saw both sides reduced to 10 men.
The come-from-behind result was badly needed for Sandro Schwarz's side, who had fallen to 10th in the Eastern Conference after winning just once in an eight-game run.
Schwarz praised his side for taking control of the contest after a difficult opening 20 minutes, commending the mentality and energy of his players, particularly in the second half.
