The rest of the first half was all Union as did not allow a single shot on target. The defense has been consistent since the return of the season and they played incredible all night long.

Second Half:

Some great passing from the Union attack led to their second goal of the night as who other than Kacper Przybylko to put it home in the 68th minute.

The Union win 3-0 and move to second place in the Eastern Conference standings. This was a big win for the team and they hope to continue their momentum this Saturday, where they take on the New England Revolution. The Union played the Revolution a few weeks back, in a game that ended in a draw. They will definitely be eager to walk away with 3 points this time on Saturday night.
