pegged back
Lead was erased
Pegged back means checked, restrained, or forced to retreat from an advanced position.
In sports, a team pegged back has lost a lead or been pushed into a defensive stance: They were pegged back to 2-2 in the final minutes.
More broadly, it describes any setback that reverses progress: Inflation has pegged back consumer spending.
