The Philadelphia Union lead the Montreal Impact 3-1 in one of their better halves in recent memory. Roland Alberg got the Union on the right foot in the fourth minute when CJ Sapong sprung the Dutch midfielder. A nifty move by Alberg made Laurent Ciman slide past him, and Alberg fired it past Evan Bush to give the Union a lead.
The Union had another good run upfield in the seventh minute when Chris Pontius found himself alone in space. His centering pass to CJ Sapong was a bit behind the Union striker, and Montreal was able to clear the ball out.
