You wrote "breaking point" in the subject line but "breaking moment" in the body of the text. "breaking point" is a known phrase, whereas "breaking moment" is not, but I think what you might mean is "turning point" (point where the course of something changes). However, it still does not work properly with "when they first evened up the score and then beat them" because a "point" is a moment of time, not a period of time.

- You could say something like this: There was a turning point in the last match when they evened up the score, and they went on to win 3-2.
- In most sports that I am aware of, scores are written like "3-2" not "3:2".
