Shea Salinas scored on the last touch of the game in the fourth minute of stoppage time to give San Jose a 2-2 draw with Orlando City on an emotional Saturday night that focused on the events a week ago when 49 people were killed in an attack at a local nightclub. It appeared Orlando would have the victory when Julio Baptista scored in the 90th minute, trapping a pass from Carlos Rivas and spinning around to rocket a left-footed shot that diving San Jose keeper David Bingham got a hand on but couldn't keep it out of the net. With time running out, Salinas fed the ball to Quincy Amarikwa in tight quarters inside the box and broke for the goal.
