Goals from Brendan Aaronson, Kacper Przybylko, and Matt Real powered Philadelphia Union to a 3-0 win over a toothless New York Red Bulls side in Harrison, N.J. on Sunday afternoon.
Both sides entered the match coming off a defeat. The Union dropped their first match since February at Columbus in midweek, while New York’s loss on Wednesday to D.C. United led to the firing of manager Chris Armas. Interim manager Bradley Carnell took charge of the Red Bulls for the first time in Sunday afternoon’s match.
Jim Curtin made just one change from the side that Denmark Email List started midweek in Columbus, swapping in Jakob Glesnes for Jack Elliott as Mark McKenzie’s partner in central defense. With Kai Wagner still injured, Olivier Mbaizo earned his second straight start at left back.
Both teams started the match in cagy fashion, just twelve days after the last clash between the two. New York spent most of the first fifteen minutes in the Union half, but the hosts failed to generate much danger. Kacper Przybylko put one over the bar on a volley from outside the top of the box, the first good chance for Philadelphia.
The Red Bulls squandered a golden opportunity to tie the game in the sixteenth minute when a whipped-in cross from Jared Stroud on the right flank found Daniel Royer open four yards from goal. The Austrian striker, however, couldn’t put his one-time attempt on frame.
Sergio Santos generated a two-on-one breakaway in the 25th minute, using his strength to take the ball away at the halfway line and his speed to burst into the final third. His pass found Przybylko wide open at the edge of the six-yard box, but Striker Muffin’s touch gave Kyle Duncan time to recover and toe-poke the ball away. Making things worse, Santos appeared to do hamstring on the breakaway, forcing Curtin to summon Andrew Wooten as an early substitute.
