Bounced: Union eliminate Red Bulls; Marsch throws tantrum

The Union overcame a dreadful first half to advance to the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open Cup.

After falling behind early, the Philadelphia Union rallied to defeat the New York Red Bulls on Wednesday night. Chris Pontius and Ilsinho linked up twice in the second half to overcome an early goal from Mike Grella. The victory secures the Union's place in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals, making it the third straight year that they've reached that stage.

The Red Bulls were totally dominant in the first 45 minutes, and the stats certainly reflect their overwhelming control.
