Tai Baribo completed a stunning second half comeback for Philadelphia Union to get a 3-2 victory over La Galaxy, whose Winless Streak extended to 13 games.
The Galaxy was in a strong position during the break, but a collapse after the break saw their hope of drifting away a first MLS victory of the season.
Quinn Sullivan saw an early free kick pushed away on the left before Jakob Glesnes wide on the rebound arch, but Philadelphia had trouble building on their early dominance.
They were then punished in the 31st minute when Marco Reus led a counterattack before hiding him to Mauricio Cuevas, who chose the corner to the right with a pinpoint recording.
Reus then created their second only six minutes later, with a shot to go up Diego Fagundez, who the first time passed Andrew Rick while he was one-on-one.
Philadelphia, however, quickly came out in the second half; Jakob Glesnes was unark on a corner on a corner, and he nodded it down, with Nathan Harriel getting an agile touch with his knee to beat John McCarthy in the 48th minute.
Baribbo scored the first of his brace only two minutes later when Danley Jean Jacques cut a cross in the nearby pole, and the forward demolition his header past the goalkeeper.
The Galaxy was not in the game after the break when Philadelphia saw great opportunities, with Alejandro Bedoya and Baribo unable to hit the target.
Their pressure eventually brought up his fruit in the 96th minute, with Mikael Uhre crumbling a great delivery to the distant pole, where Baribo was unark and fed a header past the stranded McCarthy.

Debrief data: Galaxy makes unwanted history
There were flashes of promise in the first half for Galaxy, who had times when they looked back at their old self, the team that won the MLS Cup last season.
After they gave their 2-0 lead to lose, however, they became the first team in the MLS history that collected less than five points in their first 13 games (three points).
They scored with both shots on goal and generally only had three shots, with Christian Ramirez on his way in the only other attempt in the 90th minute.
In the meantime, Baribo has now had 10 goals this season and has helped to end the six-match Winless Streak of Philadelphia against the Galaxy (D2 L4).
