Roland Alberg recorded a brace, including the game-winning goal in stoppage time to lead the Union past City Islanders FC, 3-2. With the win, the Union advanced to the Round of 16 in the 2016 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup for the third consecutive year. Their opponent will be determined Thursday, June 16.
The Union wasted little time getting on the scoreboard as Walter Restrepo delivered an excellent shot that found the back of the net in the 3rd minute. His goal was the fastest in Philadelphia Union history in U.S. Open Cup competition.
Restrepo found himself in the right place at the right time as Vincent Nogueira sent a pass into the box that was intended for Fabian Herbers.
