Sometimes soccer is a complicated game, and sometimes it’s simple.
On Saturday at Talen Energy Stadium, it was simple.
Borek Dockal and C.J. Sapong scored goals, and the Union won for the first time since March 3.
The 3-2 victory over southern neighbor D.C. United was sorely needed, especially for the Union’s two most important attacking players. Dockal struck the winner, smashing home a shot from close range in the 72nd minute for his first goal in a Union jersey.
Early on, the stage seemed set for yet another frustrating day for the announced crowd of 16,493.
